      Decent-ish training but placement can be a total lottery if you're naive

      Pros

      Some trainers were top quality

      Cons

      I was basically thrown into an online IT sweatshop and left to figure it out. I would recommend others to join but make sure you get an interview with your placement so you can scope out what your working environment will be like. If the account managers try to get you to sign yourself to any company that looks like 90% of their workers are outsourced to online sweatshops do not sign no matter what they say. You are not a human to them but merely a number. These toxic environments will severely hinder your career progression and no one signs up to FDM for the salary.

      Disappointed.

      Pros

      The company gives the idea that one will get the best platform for starting out as a new graduate, and although they do have access to a large amount of companies as clients, this ideology that is sold is far-fetched. However, their trainers are excellent and I enjoyed every step of the learning process.

      Cons

      A lot of people were forced to take additional courses while they awaited interviews to be set up etc. Quite a lot of people had no work lined up even after the 90 day limit they set out on their contract. Also, quite a few people were let off just before the end of their probationary period for absurd reasons, like, points on drivers' licences, deep accents etc

      Pros

      None, start of pay of 12 bucks for 4 months. Not worth it.

      Cons

      I am with FDM for more that 10 Months now no job no pay. Their job posting is exactly same as other agencies. Companies look down on FDM consultants, they see them as useless. The contract makes u binded to FDM and you cannot apply outside. Im sitting at home and unable to apply to jobs outside. THERE ARE FAKE REVIEWS ON HERE, CLAIM THAT FDM IS VERY GOOD. THEY ASKED EVERYONE AT FDM TO WRITE POSITIVE REVIEWS ONLY. THEY TRY TO MAKE U BREAK TO CONTRACT, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A PENALTY ABOUT $30,000. TAKE THIS ADVICE AND DON'T JOIN.

      Thank you for your feedback. Your comment regarding “no pay for ten months” is concerning as all FDM employees receive a regular paycheck; there are no unpaid roles. In Canada, FDM compensates all consultants from day one of their training through the two-year placement period, whether they are actively on-site or between client placements. If there have been issues with your pay, please reach out to our Payroll or HR department who will investigate immediately. FDM’s careers program is unique and we recognize that it may not be the right fit for everyone, which is why we try to be as transparent as possible in explaining the model as well as all the terms and conditions (including the salary) during the Interview Day. This is also why we offer the 2-week ‘cooling off’ period after starting for you to better determine if FDM is the right career path for you. As a business, FDM wants to successfully train and place every candidate we recruit; having a consultant break their contract is a loss to us and something we would never encourage. Though in most cases our consultants are pre-selected for a client placement before they even complete their training, occasionally this is not the case. It is the goal of our Account Managers and Consultant Support team to minimize consultants’ downtime between roles or after training. If you are, as you say, sitting at home, my first recommendation would be to come in to the FDM office. Request mock interviews with our Account Managers, additional training from our academy, and ultimately aim to continually hone and improve your skills so that you will perform to the very best of your ability for your next interview with an FDM client. FDM is here to help in any way we can, so I encourage you to take advantage of these resources. We do not solicit fake reviews. The honest feedback from our employees is important to us and we truly listen to the comments we receive here. While I’m sorry to hear that your experience has not been more positive, many FDM consultants and employees do enjoy their experience with us and leave honest feedback indicating so. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further if you’re willing. Andy Brown
