If you have a chance, don't join FDM, unless it is your last chance - Trainee Software Developer FDM Group Employee Review

I’m very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with FDM and especially that you think we don’t care about our consultants. Our people are the most important part of our business, which is why we invest a significant amount of resources into launching careers. We appreciate that the programme may not suit everyone, which is why we try to be as transparent as possible and go through the model as well as all the terms and conditions (including the salary), during the assessment process. There is a 2 week ‘cooling off’ period after starting for you to really work out if FDM is the right career move also. We do try to accommodate preferences for placement where possible and, we like to encourage our consultants to join the clients as a permanent employee after the two year bond with FDM. So placing people somewhere which is not their preferred geographic location is not something FDM likes to do. That said, placement locations vary depending on client demand and therefore geographical flexibility is a requirement (which we reiterate throughout the recruitment process). The vast majority of FDM consultants progress to enjoy successful and lucrative careers, which is what we set out to achieve. We are always looking for ways to continue improving and welcome all feedback. If you’re willing to discuss your feedback further with me, I would welcome the opportunity – please email me at Andy.Brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer
