I’m sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your time with FDM. Our people are important and we invest a significant amount of resources (financial and non-financial) into helping graduates launch their careers. The training is fully funded by FDM and like any business it needs to recoup its investment, which is why the two-year bond is in place. Being geographically flexible is part of the agreement and we appreciate it doesn’t suit everyone, which is why there is a ‘cooling off’ period where anyone can drop out in the first two weeks. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further with you. Please come and see me or email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com.
Jonathan Young - CIO
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.
