FDM Group Reviews

Pros

The company really prepares you for the real world. They provide a 12 week training program to make sure you know exactly what you're doing when you get placed on site. Teachers there are really kind, respective, and knowledgeable, and the work environment is great! They go a great job ensuring you are prepared for the on-site work.

Cons

The two-year lock in period isn't the best, but if you are building towards your career, it could also be seen as a pro. FDM places you in a top company for two years which is a great career starter, especially for new grads.

Pros

The business model of the company is unique and is built around starting the careers of recent University graduates. FDM really does stand behind this and works hard to train and deploy consultants into the workforce. While working onsite with clients FDM continues to help guide consultants through their journey and works hard to ensure consultants are content with their placements and their career growth.

Cons

The 2 year commitment can seem lengthy but the long term benefits are worth the bond. After the 2 years consultants are trained and experienced to move forward in their career, and are able to use FDM as a stepping stone to be successful in their next career goal.

Pros

- Fun work atmosphere, open concept space - good commission and benefits - 3.5 weeks paid vacation - great managers - no matter your role you can do the academy training for free - Lots of events where food and drinks are paid for

Cons

- can't work from home

Pros

FDM hires smart and energetic recent graduates and trains them to be IT professionals. Due to this, it is one of the smartest, most driven working atmospheres I have ever been a part of. Most employees are eager to start or continue their IT careers, and motivation to learn and evolve is generally not a problem. The training staff has wide and varied industry experience and are all committed to helping employees... grow. The training material is focused on practical, real-world IT knowledge and not theory or fluff. The offices are modern and well situated in the heart of the Financial District.

Cons

It is occasionally challenging being in a location which is geographically and culturally less connected to the head office in the U.K.

Pros

FDM Group provides opportunities for personal and professional growth (workshops, training, and certification opportunities). Great culture with lots of great employee perks. Support from management, friendly and professional staff make the daily tasks enjoyable. What I love the most is the focus on continuous process improvement which involves employee input and recognition.

Cons

Cannot think of any at the moment.

Advice to Management

Continue to foster inclusive and supportive environment.

Pros

- Open concept office space encourages a collaborative work environment - Advancement opportunities (I personally went from Reception to Event Coordinator fairly quickly) - So many learning opportunities within all departments - High level management is always open to speaking with you

Cons

Can be a little cliquey at times, but is still more inclusive than other workplaces I have experienced/heard about.
