Pros

-Difficult to see any as this is the modern exploitation under a modern, civilised and educated society cover. -Good training for fundamentals.

Cons

no transparency, no accountability, no respect of people. It could take place in a science fiction movie. people's conduct driven by processes, no space to exchange, discuss.. and even less to think. No discussion about who you are, the skills you are bringing. Account managers focused on .. the figures I guess. Trainees, new group arrive every day, are a real commodity. Do not be fooled by the speech made at the assessment day, quite well done and a nice one. The reality is quite different. The "success" and the fact the company is growing shows how the market is small and difficult for young people. to get in. If you value your self, move forward, look for other roads. you are better than that!

FDM Group Response

I’m pleased you enjoyed the initial training, but I’m very sorry that you wouldn’t recommend joining us. We appreciate that the programme may not suit everyone, which is why we try to be as transparent as possible and go through the model as well as all the terms and conditions, during the assessment process. There is a 2 week ‘cooling off’ period after starting for you to really work out if FDM is the right career move also. Our people are the most important part of the business and I’m really sorry that it didn’t work out for you. If you believe that anyone disrespected you in any way I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further so that I can personally investigate. Please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer

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.
