Pluspunten

- Excellent training - One of the only ways to get into junior dev roles and establish yourself without 2+ years of proffesional dev experience

Minpunten

- Hawkish, incompetent account managers - Unhelpful HR department - Guaranteed placements aren't guaranteed. I have been accepted to two placements, only for them to fall through mysteriously. No one cares that I haven't been paid for months while waiting for FDM to get their act together.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I’m glad to hear that you rate the training highly and recognise the value of the FDM Careers Programme. Unfortunately, some client placements do get pushed back or fall through on occasion for reasons out of our control (i.e. budget cuts on the client side). When this happens, the team tries their best to find other suitable placements. However, it sounds like this could be communicated better and we certainly don’t want you to feel ignored. As you are still an employee, please come to see me directly or email jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com so that we can talk about it. Your feedback is important to us. Jonathan Young - CIO

Pluspunten

It is a job that pays.

Minpunten

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.
