      FDM is a dictatorship that is ready to get rid of it's trainees if they realise you are unprofitable

      Pros

      Self-taught training is a good thing to gain

      Cons

      - ''training'' is mostly teaching yourself as trainers can be away on meetings for whole days. - training does not really cater to beginners - trainees are dispensable and you have little say in where you want to work. - misinformation is a regular part of life at FDM - you can be unplaced and unpaid for up to 90 days after you complete your training (which you are not told prior to your training) - like all other companies, FDM only cares about profit for itself however they will lie and make false claims and contradict each other

      Soul crushing culture in London, Some good opportunities

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good first step on the career ladder in times of limited choice. Access to the big banks. I've heard positive things about the academy culture in Manchester but never been there. Software developer training was pretty good when I did it, and greatly improved when I returned to the academy after a contract ended. Some very good contracts are available if you manage to build rapport with an effective member of the sales team, but this is very challenging due to the way they treat consultants as cattle. Rapid expansion of the business.

      Cons

      Trainees and mounties on-site are treated like greatly despised children. Constant threats of disciplinary action for nonsensical sleights. Poor pay, below market rate. I was forced out of the company by an aggressive head of sales for having aspirations to move to a particular city. The head of engineering and training at the time denied this was true but did nothing to stop it. In the end, I was offered an ultimatum: accept a contract in London or tender my resignation. Rapid expansion is a double-edged sword. They discard many new recruits if they fail to land a contract. I believe they deliberately set the hiring bar too low to massage the publicity figures.
