Pros

- They will get you a job. - You could be in a role overseas. - Training from the ground up.

Cons

- Sales managers do not give a monkeys about what you want. - Huge training costs that you must pay if you break their sketchy contract. They are taking advantage of naive graduates, who are desperate to get a job after University. - The role you are trained for may not match the role you will be placed in on site. - Unpaid training, you are expected to fund yourself for a undefined amount of time. - When you apply for FDM, they insinuate that you are working for them and guarenteed a role. Its bs. - Outdated technology and they are not geared towards adapted new technologies, they have stagnated. - The fake reviews on here. Anyone who sees this before going to Fdm, run away while you can. Do more research and use this as a last resort.

FDM Group Response

I’m sorry to hear that you aren’t enjoying your time with FDM and that you don’t believe the sales managers care about you. We are as transparent as possible in regards to the contract, and appreciate that the programme may not suit everyone, which is why there is a two-week cooling off period where anyone can drop out with no obligations. The placements available are determined by our clients, which is why the roles vary. The need to be flexible and adaptable is key for any successful career, and those who welcome it progress to do very well. As a people business, we take all feedback seriously and if you wish to discuss this further, please email me at Andy.Brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer

Pros

Culture is so great that it makes you want to come to work everyday (amazing location and people), The 3 months training is very helpful no matter what you end up doing in the future (UNIX, SQL, BA, ITIL), This has been a very successful business model in the UK, USA, Hong Kong etc, and the Toronto location is getting more and more popularity. If you have an interest in finance and IT, then FDM is the way to go!

Cons

Pay is the only bad thing, but you can't complain considering they pay for training + 2 certificate vouchers + get you started with a career you otherwise couldn't get in to.
