Pros

Your not unemployed Many companies we got placed with were so unimpressed by FDM and the support they provided to grads they tended to sympathise with us and motivated us to leave FDM

Cons

The process is so draining no pay till you get on site and your not even guaranteed a role in your stream. I came in on one stream and got placed as a business analyst because the account manager literally lied to a bunch of us just to get us on site HR was non-existent. No career progression. Not worth it, regret the whole experience. everyone I know left as soon as they finished their second year and we all were all so relieved to get out.

FDM Group Response
8y
I’m very sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience with FDM and especially that you didn’t feel supported throughout your journey. We have several initiatives set up to support our people including consultant peer support, mentoring, relationship managers and access to a large library of online training resources, as well as HR . Clearly, the support available wasn’t something you were aware of and this is something I want to investigate further. With regards to the role you were placed in, during the training you receive at the academy you will be taught to have a broad skill set and equipped with many transferable skills. We want to provide as many options to our people as possible and so when an opportunity arises that they may be suitable for, they will be given that chance to interview with the client. Honesty and transparency is something we value highly and I am very concerned that you feel you’ve been lied to. I appreciate that you have now left FDM but there are many points you raise in your review that I would like the opportunity to discuss in more detail with you. If you are happy to have this discussion with me please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

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.
