Vantaggi

FDM can set you up with roles in well respected companies, potentially jump starting your career in IT.

Svantaggi

No sick pay.Minimum holiday leave + no pay for bank holidays (which are forced) You have 17 days to choose yourself. Very little support on site. Terrible training where they saddle you with £20,000 of debt. No thought or consideration for you as an individual. You are a commodity - a cow for milking. Lots of graduates have not been lucky with placement and have been beached/ kicked around/lied to and down right exploited.

I’m extremely sorry to hear that you do not feel valued and that you don’t think the training was useful. Our people are the most important asset and are our business which is why we invest a significant amount of resources into helping graduates launch their careers. The training is fully funded by FDM and, like any business, FDM needs to realise a return on its investment. This is why the two-year bond is in place –allowing the fees to be paid back only on the very rare occasion that the contract is broken. The vast majority of FDM consultants enjoy successful and lucrative careers. Your comment about being lied to worries me greatly. Honesty and integrity are core values for me and, therefore, if you believe that anyone at FDM lied to you or lied to any of your FDM colleagues I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further so that I can personally investigate. Please come and see me or email 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.
