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"
