Pros

Good start for fresh graduate. Lots of opportunity Good training Peers are good Good start for business student in IT industry.

Cons

Sales do not respect the consultants. However, without consultant, they are actually nothing even they have business. Compare to the other consulting firm, for example Deloitte Financial Advisory, sales of FDM are not come from the consultant. So, they always send wrong people to wrong place since they have no practical skill.

FDM Group Response

If you feel you were treated unfairly by anyone, email me directly at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com so that I can personally look into it. Your feedback is important to us.

Pros

- Excellent training - One of the only ways to get into junior dev roles and establish yourself without 2+ years of proffesional dev experience

Cons

- Hawkish, incompetent account managers - Unhelpful HR department - Guaranteed placements aren't guaranteed. I have been accepted to two placements, only for them to fall through mysteriously. No one cares that I haven't been paid for months while waiting for FDM to get their act together.

FDM Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I’m glad to hear that you rate the training highly and recognise the value of the FDM Careers Programme. Unfortunately, some client placements do get pushed back or fall through on occasion for reasons out of our control (i.e. budget cuts on the client side). When this happens, the team tries their best to find other suitable placements. However, it sounds like this could be communicated better and we certainly don’t want you to feel ignored. As you are still an employee, please come to see me directly or email jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com so that we can talk about it. Your feedback is important to us. Jonathan Young - CIO

Pros

Good way to kick start your career if you have trouble finding a job elsewhere. Good list blue chip clients to work with.

Cons

Low pay for the kind of work you'll be doing, they takes 60-70% of what clients pay them. FDM is a good back up choice if you cant' find an IT job somewhere else.
