Pros

Great Training from people who know the IT Business but some of the training is actually quite basic and low level. Designed to get you in the door so they can start billing more than equip you for a career.

Cons

Really poor communication with sales people. They are never available and never follow up on problems unless its from the client. You dont matter to them at all. They also asked me to give a positive statement of Glassdoor as I was a trusted person. This is my statement. They are trying to get people to change their rating so they look better. Avoid if possible.

FDM Group Response
9y
We take all feedback seriously and I’m sorry to hear that you don’t believe the account managers care about you. All our employees are important to us and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can change this perception with you. I appreciate that communication can always be improved and I would like to assure you that trainees are the most important part of our business. Please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com so that we can discuss this further. On another note, we always encourage people to post an honest review on Glassdoor in regards to their experience – which may be positive or negative (we do not ask anyone to change ratings). Andy Brown – Group Commercial Director

Pros

Gets you in front of corporate clients - especially good clients in the finance/banking/energy industries Decent base training (or affirming you have the skills already for an entry level role) Good entry level tech role for those looking to get their foot in the door Pretty good benefits (especially for a contractor role)

Cons

Pay is a bit rough for first 2 years // training No guarantee on when/if you will get a role (still need to interview with FDM clients - helpful if willing to move around the country)

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.
