Pros

They have a good training programme and access to blue chip companies which might be very hard to get into as a graduate.

Cons

-Account managers treat you like you're second class to them. (The company tells you to contact the account managers and then the account managers simply ignore you or lie to you) -Management team does not care about the consultants -After being placed you can take up to 2 months before being placed.. so 6 months unpaid. -FDM does not care about you at all they are just looking for money in their own pockets. - Even after being placed people complain as the company will send you new contracts every week to avoid paying you until you start ..then they pay you basic for the first month before upping It (slightly anyway) not forgetting you've had almost 6months unpaid.

FDM Group Response

I’m glad to hear that you rate the training programme highly and recognise the opportunity we provide graduates with. However, I am sorry to hear that you believe we don’t care about you. Our people are the most important part of FDM and we definitely do care about employees. If anyone has treated you unfairly, please come see me or email andy.brown@fdmgroup.com so that we can look into this further. Andy Brown – Group Commercial Director

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
