      Biggest regret in my life

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Possibility to work in the Banking sector ..... Not guaranteed for all , most of the time they decide where you are placed like product being rented.

      Cons

      2 year contract and cannot leave, they get real iffy about that 20k cost you would endure , 3 months unpaid training. Career progression is almost zero within those placement, If I could I will take summer courses on some of training they offer. Worst thing is after the 2 years up , you can't take up a job with a company you have been placed with , this is vague but rumour has it their is a non-compete clause at the end of the 2 years at the end of the contract. People have been having trouble with this as it stops them from attaining employment with companies they worked for whilst on placement ( please research this as it is word of mouth and I have been only their for 1 year)

      "Thank you for your feedback. Please refer to some of my previous comments about the contract (structure, rationale, explanations, videos, cool-off periods etc.). I can assure you that consultants who finish their contractual period (2 years for the UK) are free to join the clients for whom they have been working. This part of the FDM model is extremely attractive to both consultants and clients alike – and FDM actively encourages it. If you want to discuss further then I am more than happy to do so – please email jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com or consult with your FDM account manager (AM) or relationship manager (RM). Should you be satisfied with my explanation, then both your RM and AM will be in touch with you anyway to discuss your plans as you approach the end of your contract.”

      Simply not worth it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Difficult to recommend with so many negative points about this graduate program. They have a referral system, but frankly I would be ashamed of myself if I were to recommend this program to any of my peers since my experience and that of many other consultants as we can see on Glassdoor has been pretty terrible so far.

      Cons

      - Not transparent at all, they give you contracts and unveil clauses progressively and well after the cool off period. - 2 years at their mercy, have to pay for your "freedom", which they justify through their 20k training. - Training is completely unrecognized in the industry apart from the external certificates. Hard to recommend a 20k training in these conditions. - Low pay - Not many holidays - No choice at all, location, position or career wise. - Sales and account managers are extremely difficult to deal with.

      Jonathan Young, CIO: "I am extremely sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your time with FDM. There is a contractual bond in place for the two year programme because we invest a significant amount into trainees in order to provide you with training and experience that leads to lucrative career progression. If there was no training bond, FDM would not be able to recoup its investment, which means we would not be in business. We are as transparent as possible throughout the recruitment process and completely understand that our model may not suit everyone, which is why we also provide a two-week ‘cooling off period’. If you are still an FDM employee and would like to discuss your comments in more detail, please email me at jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com"
