Pros

You get a team of sales people selling you, you can focus on skills and training instead. You'll almost certainly get a job and get great experience over the years with fdm.

Cons

After 2 years you will have out grown FDM. No longer term strategy or career discussions. You can go months or a whole year without hearing from Fdm when you are on site. In the end you can feel like they don't care about you as long as you are bring in the money for them.

FDM Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Your advice to management makes sense, we are always looking for ways to improve communication and contact with our remote workforce. We have a number of initiatives in place to support our people throughout training and whilst on site, some of the initiatives have been developed with our consultants. The Consultant Peer Support, Mentoring, HR support and Business Development Managers providing technical and professional advice. This support is currently available to all of our consultants. In our UK business around 30% of our staff are now into their 3rd year and beyond so meaningful contact and support is vital. That is why we value feedback and advice from our staff and customers to continually look into ways we can keep improving the experience of all our people. If you have any more ideas on how we can improve, please don’t hesitate to email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer

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.
