Pros

Mmm works for some people I guess

Cons

FDM hired me on the basis that my chemical engineering degree would be transferraable. One month into their intense training, they dropped me with no warning due to me failing a couple tests. From my understanding we had three chances to pass. Also they wanted us to learn JAVA in four days, is this possible? Highly unlikely. As it was out of the two week period and as it was their choice, they didn’t charge me with the £20,000 training fee. Honestly after discussions with other trainees, I believe FDM dropped me and others due to their inability to place trainees that are on the earlier streams. They knew the would struggle to place us as well so it was probably easier to remove the dead weight. A waste of my time - they see you as a product to be sold . I ignored the glassdoor reviews at first however i will not be making that mistake again.

Pros

Knowledgeable Trainers, Ability to leverage trainees into the Financial and Investment Banking Industry

Cons

The US Academy is expanding, but the amount of trainees is disproportionately high to the number of trainers; not enough trainers to handle all of the new trainees
