      Worst company I have ever worked for

      Consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Your not unemployed Many companies we got placed with were so unimpressed by FDM and the support they provided to grads they tended to sympathise with us and motivated us to leave FDM

      Cons

      The process is so draining no pay till you get on site and your not even guaranteed a role in your stream. I came in on one stream and got placed as a business analyst because the account manager literally lied to a bunch of us just to get us on site HR was non-existent. No career progression. Not worth it, regret the whole experience. everyone I know left as soon as they finished their second year and we all were all so relieved to get out.

      FDM Group Response
      8y
      I’m very sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience with FDM and especially that you didn’t feel supported throughout your journey. We have several initiatives set up to support our people including consultant peer support, mentoring, relationship managers and access to a large library of online training resources, as well as HR . Clearly, the support available wasn’t something you were aware of and this is something I want to investigate further. With regards to the role you were placed in, during the training you receive at the academy you will be taught to have a broad skill set and equipped with many transferable skills. We want to provide as many options to our people as possible and so when an opportunity arises that they may be suitable for, they will be given that chance to interview with the client. Honesty and transparency is something we value highly and I am very concerned that you feel you’ve been lied to. I appreciate that you have now left FDM but there are many points you raise in your review that I would like the opportunity to discuss in more detail with you. If you are happy to have this discussion with me please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com

      Good place to start your career

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • It is a good opportunity for recent graduates to start their IT career if unable to get a job. • They provide 3 to 4 months of fast paced training and certifications based on the stream selected. Trainers have good knowledge and are very supportive. During the training, you get paid minimum wage (which was not the case when I joined). • You get opportunity to work with one of the top 5 banks in Canada. • If not placed with a client within 3 months of your training, you are free to leave FDM. • 2 years of employment guarantee: This can be both pro and con. Sometimes if you get beached, it might take longer time to join another client. But, I have seen some of them who were beached and joined another client in a month. • You have higher chances of joining the client that you are working with at the end of your contract. FDM encourages you to join the client but, you have the option to continue with FDM, join the client or go on your own. • I have always received good support and timely responses from the trainers, HR and account managers.

      Cons

      • Pay is lower than the market rate. • After training, you may not get to work on the same technology as you were trained and usually clients don't provide training. Sometimes you don’t even get a clear job description until you talk to the interviewer or actually start working with the client. • You are bound to work with them for 2 years. If you quit before your 2 year contract ends, you will have to pay $30K CAD.

      Pros

      Opens the door to work with big financial companies

      Cons

      Horrible Management The contract ties you up for 2 years with them If one decides to leave FDM with in 2 years then they are forced to pay $30, 000 CAD The so called training is pathetic and useless if you are undergraduate FDM squeezes maximum money from client Over time pay is horrible
