      Developer / Software Tester Trainee Experience

      Software developer/test analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • Hire based on aptitude • Great route into IT sector with well-known clients • Very little prior experience needed • Whilst not a qualification as such, FDM's reputation proceeds you, commanding a great deal of respect in the workplace • Support from trainers is excellent and very easy to access • Staff are approachable at all times and create a comfortable atmosphere for trainees' development

      Cons

      • Intensive course; fantastic for learning quickly but difficult to catch up if you begin to fall behind in any given module • Certain modules of the course can feel unbalanced (it's routinely commented that the Unix programme in particular is a little over-loaded for a single week's study) whilst others (Pro Skills) perhaps don't require the full week devoted to them • Unpaid training period is a barrier to entry for those without savings/similar

      Recruitment Team/Account Management

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      From the recruitment/sales standpoint, the environment in the wall street office is incredibly supportive and open. Trainees hang out together and develop friendships not only amongst themselves but with the trainers as well. The Academy trainers, recruitment team, account managers, finance team, HR, marketing teams are all friendly towards one another. As part of the recruitment team, I tried to keep in contact with those I recruited - they all were very happy with the training, with the networking opportunities as well, they really, tenjoyed it. Myself - I would not have continued into Account Management if I did not also truly enjoy what I did, if I did not see that we really did help individuals build their IT careers. To compare FDM to more sinister forms of employment such as slavery is completely ludicrous and insulting to our history as a nation. FDM's model doesn't even come close - our Academy is designed for individual success and with any business there is a crucial component of profits. Simple as that.

      Cons

      Continuous improvement needs to still occur of course, as with any business. I'm not sure how much more transparent we can get, but perhaps we should continue to look into this. Increased communication between all levels/teams/trainees - communication is always key and we are improving on this.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good training program. Completely practical and professional training. Good opportunity for recent graduates to start their IT career. Payment during training. Good trainers.

      Cons

      Very low salary. Training is very intense and fast paced. Two years contract. No guarantee of getting the role of your choice.
