I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Auckland, Auckland) in Apr 2021
Interview
The interview process was in 4 main stages.
First stage was a phone call which was an informal chat with a recruiter. Very friendly and made the program requirements quite clear.
Second stage was a quick aptitude test. It was simple. If you finished high school math and have a foundation in development, it will be quite straight forward.
Third stage was a video interview. Again, very friendly recruiters. This was a one-to-one interview and consisted of behavioural questions. The feedback received at the end was very invaluable.
Fourth stage was an assessment centre which in my case was virtual. This stage consisted of 3 interviews and an introduction to the company. 2 stages were based on behaviour and people-skills. 1 stage was technical in nature. Everyone was very friendly and all information provided was clear and concise.
I really enjoyed this application process and the people but had to decline as I received an offer with a higher pay.
I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Sydney) in Jul 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening. Asked about my own introduction, experience on resume and availibility. They also go through how the graduate program is structured and heavy emphasis on being able to relocate.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Melbourne)
Interview
The first screening is a HackerRank test. The coding tasks are fairly straightforward; however, you won't be able to access any code documentation during the test, and the online editor can be a bit laggy at times.
If you are successful at the assessment, you will receive a phone call with no prior notification, so make sure to pick up calls from unknown numbers. During this call I was asked if I was available to work at both the Sydney and Melbourne offices, as this was a requirement to move forward with the role. In other words, you have to be willing to relocate to be a successful applicant.

Interview
Don't interview with this unprofessional company. Completed the interview with no response until 3 months later saying they thought I was just a mediocre candidate despite their engineers saying that I did pretty well in the technical assessments. The reason? HR simply didn't think I was good... from a 5 min generic interview asking basic questions from my resume. Better off working at other companies and saving your time. Would rather be jobless than work here. Good riddance!
First round is a phone interview with basic questions.
Second round same like 1st but online on a zoom call with some generic tech questions with HR.
Third round is an in person half-day interview with three rounds. First is a 5 min HR interview, then group interview, and lastly technical assessment.
