Pros

Great training and access to some top tier clients.

Cons

*Some* account managers have no regard or respect for the trainees and merely see them as objects on which to earn commission. They constantly fail to be considerate to the fact they are dealing with another person, who has their own career hopes and ambitions.

FDM Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We appreciate and welcome all feedback and I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced. We do have a number of initiatives in place to support you at all stages of your career journey. During training, a trainer will act as your point of contact within the Academy and arrange weekly meetings for all trainees to go over any issues. Once training is completed, we have Placement Support Officers to ensure you have the support needed to find your placement. Onsite you will also be assigned a Relationship Manager, a senior representative at FDM who you can go to for support or advice on any issue. All of these initiatives have been developed due to valuable feedback like yours but I can see there is more work for us to do to improve awareness of these initiatives and avoid situations like this where you were not aware of the support available. We are always seeking to improve and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. Please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com

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.
