FDM Group reviews

- Although training is provided, they use it to justify a two-year bond that keeps you stuck with FDM - Whatever stream you are trained in does not matter, you will get interviews for unrelated roles and you cannot reject the placement if you are offered - First year pay is 3.6k, and second year pay is 3.9k. However, FDM charges their clients almost 9k for our services (this is true!). - No bonuses, no thirteen month bonus, nothing at all. The low pay is all you get. Other agencies give performance bonus to their consultants once their contract is done with the client. - Shady account managers who will force you into renewing your contract with the current client, even if you want to pursue a different role. - The account managers do not care about your career progression, only their commission. In fact, there is no career progression because you are expected to move between clients anyways. - Recent layoffs happening because there are too many consultants waiting but very little client opportunities - No performance feedback sessions, better to ask your client site manager directly to know how you are faring in the job

Leadership lacks diversity, and the diverse leadership that exists is largely tokenism—not actually good managers. FDM managers and execs have all been at the company a long time and stay because they have better comp and benefits than 95% of the employees. As such most people managers aren’t that competent or nice and don’t take responsibility for their mistakes. Execs jet around the world to feel important but are not respected. Notoriously arrogant CEO. Corporate culture of blame rather than taking ownership. Most of the company doesn’t seem to be on the same page. Next to no roles available in the US, but they keep hiring. Nepotism that starts at the top. Unprofessional corporate culture of workplace relationships that starts at the very top.
