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

Want to learn java and have never done it before training is quite good.

Cons

Go to UK for €170 per week for 16 weeks. Promises of loads of jobs but most people in Ireland are never placed. €26,000 for a java developer is way below average for working in Dublin. Get more as a graduate.Tied in for 90 days after doing their academy which means you can't work with anybody else either. From your first day of employment you are tied to that money for 2 years.
