Pros

It's a great entry-level company The Grad Programme is good - if you're applying for that programme, it's fine

Cons

Recruiters have little to no training This is a "con" - but the company is heavily corporate and has no real innovation within their workplace practice. If you want a corporate employer that is "the norm", FDM fits the bill.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I appreciate your feedback and recognise that there are always ways to improve. I have introduced new training for recruitment and a more solid structure for the department. We recently held a 2 day development conference in London for all UK recruiters to focus on internal development. This involved external speakers and training on how to to become experts in the fields of IT and graduate recruitment. If you would like to discuss anything further, feel free to email me at Jeffery.Lovejoy@fdmgroup.com Jeff Lovejoy – UK Recruitment Manager

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.
