Pros

Good for ex-forces to jump onto a technology platform without having any experience

Cons

I had to leave the company due to financial reasons which I won’t get into. And my placement fully understood this but FDM could not they refused to pay me my wage that I was owed that month which made me miss out on a direct debit. This all came without giving me any warning. Ex forces trainers at the academy are spot on but some of the other managers are useless. Not helpful and turn up to work smelling of drink because they have been with other clients. Which is 100% unprofessional.

FDM Group Response
8y
I’m pleased that you recognise the opportunity and that you rate the ex-Forces Trainers highly, but I’m sorry to hear the rest of your feedback. FDM invests a significant amount of resources into launching careers and is committed to the success of our people. The commitment from consultants to FDM is to remain with us for two years, which is reiterated during the recruitment process. We have thousands of consultants working for us worldwide and so of course, we understand that circumstances beyond a person’s control happen. On these occasions we take a very collaborative approach between the consultant and client and so your comment that you received no communication sounds very odd. It also concerns me that you feel a recruiter lied to you. We are as transparent as possible throughout the process so if you feel anyone has lied to you, please contact me directly so that I can investigate. I would also welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further so that I can personally address any issues in regards to your wages: stewart.sharman@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.
