Pros

Got me an interview with a client and helped me get through that interview. As a recent graduate without any experience, this was very helpful since I got placed at a bank and finally started gaining experience.

Cons

Low salary, poor benefits, extremely long and restraining contract. If you break the contract within the first year, you have to pay FDM $30k, and for the 2nd year it is $20k. FDM claims that they charge that amount to cover the cost of training which is horrible and is mostly worthless - my stream had only one decent trainer during the weeks of Unix and SQL, all the other trainers pretty much handed us a book to study from and gave us lectures a couple of times a week (they were mostly reading off the slides during those lectures). There is also a clause in the contract which forbids you to work for any of FDM's clients for 6 months in case of a breach.
