Vantaggi
FDM gave me my start in the IT Industry back in 1998, when we were still called Mounties and the training centre was St Leonards near Hastings. They took me on, gave me their course in VB5, Oracle, Office 97, and SQL Server 6.5, then sent me out to Luxembourg with 5 other mounties to work for State Street Bank. This led to me being bought out of my contract by State Street in Dec 1999, and having a good 9 years working for them until 2008. I am grateful for the opportunities and the doors that they opened up for me. Now I am working at a retail bank in London...
Svantaggi
low starting salary, tough time waiting for a contract. The only genuine gripes I had at the time were the quality of the training, but the training the give now is vastly superior and more organized, and should really bring valuable opportunities to new graduates.
