Vantaggi

Difficult to recommend with so many negative points about this graduate program. They have a referral system, but frankly I would be ashamed of myself if I were to recommend this program to any of my peers since my experience and that of many other consultants as we can see on Glassdoor has been pretty terrible so far.

Svantaggi

- Not transparent at all, they give you contracts and unveil clauses progressively and well after the cool off period. - 2 years at their mercy, have to pay for your "freedom", which they justify through their 20k training. - Training is completely unrecognized in the industry apart from the external certificates. Hard to recommend a 20k training in these conditions. - Low pay - Not many holidays - No choice at all, location, position or career wise. - Sales and account managers are extremely difficult to deal with.

Jonathan Young, CIO: "I am extremely sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your time with FDM. There is a contractual bond in place for the two year programme because we invest a significant amount into trainees in order to provide you with training and experience that leads to lucrative career progression. If there was no training bond, FDM would not be able to recoup its investment, which means we would not be in business. We are as transparent as possible throughout the recruitment process and completely understand that our model may not suit everyone, which is why we also provide a two-week ‘cooling off period’. If you are still an FDM employee and would like to discuss your comments in more detail, please email me at jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com"

Vantaggi

It is a job that pays.

Svantaggi

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.
