Pros

- free coffe - exposure to blue chip companies - fairly good trainig - really easy to get accepted - Central location and nice office

Cons

It's all a scam at the end. The sales team try to sell you out as they wish, there is no respect for your individual thoughts and preferences. The chance of getting placed in a nice company are fairly poor. You could move to london just for FDM and then get placed as a developer or BA at a meteo office in the middle of nowwhere!

FDM Group Response

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your journey with FDM. Even though we do consider preferences for placement, we make it clear before candidates join that the placement locations are dictated by our client opportunities and therefore could be anywhere in the UK. Those that are flexible progress to have extremely lucrative careers as all our clients are reputable companies. However, we appreciate that this does not suit everyone, which is why we are so transparent up front. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me at jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com Jonathan Young – CIO

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.
