      Over-Promise, Unable to back up what they claim, gutless

      Java consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Easy Application and hiring process -Provide Training -Not Terrible Pay

      Cons

      This a software contracting firm, which is a nice way to say they are a tech temp agency. They will over promise and then severely under deliver. I worked for them for 2 years, even picked up and moved locations. I landed a contract with Citigroup and things went well for the first 2 years. Then Citi cut funding, and I was released back to FDM. I spent one month on the bench doing everything that was expected of me, and I interviewed when contracts opened up. One month in, out of the blue with no warning, I was told they were terminating me because they did not have any work coming up for my skillset. And as a reminder, my skillset was what they trained me to do. Like I had any control. Don't waste your time. Even if you are desperate, there are plenty of these dollar-store contracting firms out there and this one really does not care about their employees long term. They will over promise then under deliver. I said that twice to make sure it sinks in.

      Training does not prepare you for a placement

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You’re almost guaranteed a placement after training. The trainers are usually very nice and helpful. You get plenty of support DURING training (almost none after).

      Cons

      -If you leave before the first 2 years, you have to pay for the training (costs more than 2 years of a university degree) -The pay is awful -After training, you’re left to sink or swim. -No say in what placement you get. If you dislike the placement or are a bad fit for the role, you’re stuck for the length of the contract. -After the mandatory training, I was asked to complete upskilling training ahead of my placement. Still went into the placement with absolutely no useful knowledge and it was very difficult to get my bearings.

      Good transition or Good start

      Junior java developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'd imagine mileage would vary depending on your "stream" and "trainers" involved in your development but I had a very good experience with all the trainers who were able to deliver education on par with post-secondary standards Some backstory: - prior to applying to FDM I had unsuccessfully applied to over 200 tech positions - new graduate with an electrical engineer bachelors - no software development experience Now i'm placed in a development role in one of Canada's major financial institutions Final thoughts: - who is this opportunity for? - new graduates with no experience - new graduates in a different field - professionals looking for a career transition - who is this not for? - new graduates with experience - professionals in this field with experience

      Cons

      A lot of people mention the pay, but you have to be realistic; FDM is putting candidates through up to 4 months of paid training, costing FDM upwards of - $10000 for your hourly (14.5) during the 4 months - Salary of all the trainers involved in your training - Salary of all the sales teams involved in your placement - Salary of all the internal staff involved in your administration
