2.5 Years Ago I Knew Nothing About Software Development, Now I Have an Awesome Career in Software Development

Pros

FDM provided me with a fast route into a career that I now love. I knew almost nothing about software development and sending CVs out to software companies in the hope of some training had proved futile. I joined the graduate scheme and was taught from scratch how to develop software professionally. They give people a chance based on their qualities as individuals rather than their existing experience. Opportunities to work with blue chip clients.

Cons

12-16 weeks unpaid training at the beginning. No sick pay.

Cons

2 years of contract and u have to pay to leave. You only get a third of your salary. All the HR are also graduates so not very efficient.

Pros

FDM deliver exactly what they say: training and 2 years experience at good companies. Entering the job market with a 2.2 at university can be difficult but with FDM this has been made much easier. I read the training agreement before I started and weighed up having to fund myself through the training period (6 weeks for me) and whether it was worth it or not. I've been fortunate to be at 1 placement during my time at FDM and have been looked after very well.

Cons

Funding yourself through training (6 - 12 week approx.), not a decision to be taken lightly. But don't moan afterwards when you knew this was the case at the start. The pay is too low if you wish to work in London or if you have to change location for your role.
