      Training does not prepare you for a placement

      Pros

      You’re almost guaranteed a placement after training. The trainers are usually very nice and helpful. You get plenty of support DURING training (almost none after).

      Cons

      -If you leave before the first 2 years, you have to pay for the training (costs more than 2 years of a university degree) -The pay is awful -After training, you’re left to sink or swim. -No say in what placement you get. If you dislike the placement or are a bad fit for the role, you’re stuck for the length of the contract. -After the mandatory training, I was asked to complete upskilling training ahead of my placement. Still went into the placement with absolutely no useful knowledge and it was very difficult to get my bearings.

      Good transition or Good start

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'd imagine mileage would vary depending on your "stream" and "trainers" involved in your development but I had a very good experience with all the trainers who were able to deliver education on par with post-secondary standards Some backstory: - prior to applying to FDM I had unsuccessfully applied to over 200 tech positions - new graduate with an electrical engineer bachelors - no software development experience Now i'm placed in a development role in one of Canada's major financial institutions Final thoughts: - who is this opportunity for? - new graduates with no experience - new graduates in a different field - professionals looking for a career transition - who is this not for? - new graduates with experience - professionals in this field with experience

      Cons

      A lot of people mention the pay, but you have to be realistic; FDM is putting candidates through up to 4 months of paid training, costing FDM upwards of - $10000 for your hourly (14.5) during the 4 months - Salary of all the trainers involved in your training - Salary of all the sales teams involved in your placement - Salary of all the internal staff involved in your administration

      Fdm treats their staff badly. And senior management is racist and incompetent. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

      Pros

      You get to work at banks - But it doesn't matter because they have very strict non competition clauses so if the banks have no headcount to hire you in the first place, they will not have headcount to convert you as a permanent staff. And that's when their non competition clause comes in where you are not allowed to convert as a 'perm' hire under other agencies for the same position (more money for them).

      Cons

      - Strong white supremacy - HR is very weak and lazy - Claims to be an IT consultancy firm but places you anywhere, even totally unrelated fields like data entry, KYC. - You cannot say no to any placement because you have a bond penalty that is more than 29000USD if you break it before 2 years. - Senior Management is very incompetent - Most account managers do not care if the placement is not suitable for you, all they care about is earning their commission - Minimal benefits, unpaid medical leave in some countries - that's absurd.
