Pros

I am a computer engineering graduate and I join FDM after I have graduated from my University. FDM provide opportunities for a fresh graduate like me to have opportunities to work in a prestigious financial institution such as Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, Murex and BNP Paribas. My program was about 12 weeks, we have training on ExcelVBA, soft skills, Unix, SQL, Java etc. And you get to interact with colleagues from various proficiency in their University. The account manager will also prepare you for the interview to be placed on-site. We get paid for the training period and the actual salary will roll in after placement starts.

Cons

There is a 2 year bond with the company, in any term of resigning before completing 2 years of placement. You need to pay the training fee of up to around 40k. Fix pay without bonus.

Pros

Is easier to get interviews from big companies !!!

Cons

People cheat in class to pass the course especially the people who have been placed. No matter how well you perform, it wont matter !!! Your outcome of the company is simply base by luck, and the amount of sweet talking you do.

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.
