Pros

- you have a chance of getting the job in IT - you got experience - you got good training - ability to acquire positions overseas

Cons

- not really for Irish lads ( little jobs in ROI ) - 170 GBP per week during 12 weeks (also you need to provide all the bills) - the company is dishonest about % of placed trainees (when you come there and you will see guys "waiting for the job since forever" - low salary - there are (not many) trainers with low knowledge

FDM Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased that you enjoyed the experience overall, but I’m concerned that you think we are dishonest. Our utilisation rate in 2016 was 97%. Most of our consultants are indeed placed straight away or even before their training is completed, so they have a placement waiting for them. However, sometimes there is a period of time before or in between placements. You will hopefully understand that this is a function of the market and beyond the control of FDM. We are always looking for ways to improve and welcome all feedback. Honesty and integrity are core values for me and, therefore, if you believe that anyone at FDM was dishonest I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further so that I can personally investigate.

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.
