Pros

- Helps get foot in door to many blue chip companies and fast track your career - Job specific training provided to give you the best possible edge against other competitors in the market -Paid training. - Unlimited resources for you to be prepared for the role. Both soft and hard skills. - Eliminates the common job search conundrum of " Need experience to get a job. Need a job to get the experience" - Great opportunity for international students who have little to no Canadian job experience. - Competitive/negotiable 3rd year salary with paid benefits - Amazing workplace/training environment with a culture that is fun and help you be your best self. -Regular checkups on consultants on site to ensure their satisfaction and career progression with the client

Cons

-No standard annual salary raises after 3rd year unless a request is made. -Dedicated account manager, perhaps locally, for out of province consultants -Out of province consultants are not compensated for the extra cost of living and are paid the same as others. -Account managers can improve on salary negotiations after 3rd year on behalf of consultants

Pros

Gets you in front of corporate clients - especially good clients in the finance/banking/energy industries Decent base training (or affirming you have the skills already for an entry level role) Good entry level tech role for those looking to get their foot in the door Pretty good benefits (especially for a contractor role)

Cons

Pay is a bit rough for first 2 years // training No guarantee on when/if you will get a role (still need to interview with FDM clients - helpful if willing to move around the country)

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
