Pros

- provide extensive training - provides opportunity with top clients - trainers knowledgeable as have been employed in the field you are training in. - nice office environment - amazing summer party - meet and network with like minded indivuals - you learn a lot about what role you are training for (really intensive training with tests weekly)

Cons

- Cant specifically choose role available (can state an interest and will be listened to, however to placed with first company where you have a sucessful interview) - Need to be ready to move UK wide in short notice eg. 2/3 days. - 20 days holiday which 3 have to be used over christmas - Salary not a high as collegues when placed with company..but would get the opportunity without FDM (maybe)

Pros

- The training is pretty decent and you will learn quite a lot of interesting information, but this depends on the stream you take - They can get you placed in a top blue chip firm and help accelerate your career - The trainers in my office were really nice and helpful - You'll probably meet other trainees that are nice

Cons

- Poor salary, especially if you find out how much they charge their clients for you - Many people started getting paid for their training after we started, when we raised the issue they insulted us - The account managers that "help" place look down on you and you are generally at the bottom of the chain in the company, no one will respect you there - They do not care which of their clients you want to work for, you go where you are told whether you like it or not - Essentially to them you are just a commodity to be sold. - People within the company will lie to you, especially to try and get you to join their scheme, I fell for these lies
