      Pros

      FDM can set you up with roles in well respected companies, potentially jump starting your career in IT.

      Cons

      No sick pay.Minimum holiday leave + no pay for bank holidays (which are forced) You have 17 days to choose yourself. Very little support on site. Terrible training where they saddle you with £20,000 of debt. No thought or consideration for you as an individual. You are a commodity - a cow for milking. Lots of graduates have not been lucky with placement and have been beached/ kicked around/lied to and down right exploited.

      I’m extremely sorry to hear that you do not feel valued and that you don’t think the training was useful. Our people are the most important asset and are our business which is why we invest a significant amount of resources into helping graduates launch their careers. The training is fully funded by FDM and, like any business, FDM needs to realise a return on its investment. This is why the two-year bond is in place –allowing the fees to be paid back only on the very rare occasion that the contract is broken. The vast majority of FDM consultants enjoy successful and lucrative careers. Your comment about being lied to worries me greatly. Honesty and integrity are core values for me and, therefore, if you believe that anyone at FDM lied to you or lied to any of your FDM colleagues I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further so that I can personally investigate. Please come and see me or email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com

      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

      There is a good opportunity for grads to work for big companies that they wouldn't be able to get into otherwise. If you are lucky...it can be a good career start.

      Cons

      Training is performed usually by ex trainees that had more knowledge, were not placed with a client..and VOILÁ! They become trainers (lol). Not all of them, but with some that's the case. Sales (account managers) treat you like crap (around 80% of them) - and I am saying this considering that I have a very high crap tollerance and I've always got along with them. For them you are just a puppet that must be sold to clients. Nothing more, nothing less. All the threaths about sueing that u've been reading about are true. Oh wait - all bad comments u read here are true :))) What makes me happy is to see that people are not blind! If you want to give it a try, make sure you know what you get urself into, pros and cons so you won't regret it later. Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

      Thank you for your comments. In response to some of your points I would like to mention that I only know of 2 trainers who were both trainees with FDM prior to becoming trainers themselves. This is out of circa 30 trainers in country. Both trainers joined FDM with great credentials, one in particular joined from an IT industry background. FDM has started the careers of over 5000 graduates over the past 8 years and I am delighted to say that a vast number of alumni have gone on to do great things. FDM continues to be voted the destination of choice by a vast number of students as listed in the 'Job Crowd' top companies to work for 2015/2016, with comments such as "Great way to kick start a career with job opportunities, training and experience that wouldn't be available anywhere else." Once again thanks for your comments and good luck in your career. I will take note of your comments and would like to wish you good luck in your career.
