Pros

1. Job security for 2 years (if they don't kick you out for no justifiable reason) 2. Blue chip clients (if you are lucky

Cons

1. Join FDM if you are really struggling to find another job. 2. Low salary and 2 year contractual bond 3. Be ready to relocate - no flexibility 4. The amount of times you'll get frustrated from cost cutting procedures is not worth the effort. 5. Too much authority on HR assistants. 6. Basic, unpaid training

FDM Group Response
10y
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. As I’ve mentioned in other responses, we are as transparent as possible when it comes to the terms of our contract. From the day you participate in the assessment centre we explain the salary structure after training, the potential possibility of a relocation, and the training format. We understand it is not a perfect fit for everybody, which is why we give all trainees a two-week period in which they can test out the programme and, if they desire, they can leave without any obligation. I hope that at the very least FDM has helped you launch your career, and we wish you success in your future endeavours. Sheila Flavell

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
