FDM Group Response

I am really pleased to hear you are enjoying your time on site. The training you receive in the academy prepares you for life onsite but in many cases, the clients will also invest heavily in your development. A key reason a lot of our clients partner with us is that they are looking for exceptional talent that they can nurture and grow to transition to their own teams once the contractual time frames with FDM have lapsed. Investing in our people is very important to us and all of our consultants have access two online learning platforms, Pluralsight and Intuition KnowHow, each containing a library of thousands of courses, allowing you to refresh your knowledge and up skill. We also provide additional training when required. Please contact me and I will personally make sure that you are set up with access to these. I would also welcome the chance to discuss any other feedback you may have, Andy.Brown@FDMgroup.com

Pros

Gets you in front of corporate clients - especially good clients in the finance/banking/energy industries Decent base training (or affirming you have the skills already for an entry level role) Good entry level tech role for those looking to get their foot in the door Pretty good benefits (especially for a contractor role)

Cons

Pay is a bit rough for first 2 years // training No guarantee on when/if you will get a role (still need to interview with FDM clients - helpful if willing to move around the country)

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.
