FDM Group Response

Thank you for your feedback and for recommending FDM to others. Our people are the most important part of our business and we invest a significant amount of resources into launching careers. We appreciate that the programme may not suit everyone, which is why we are as transparent as possible and go through the model as well as all the terms and conditions during the assessment process (including placements, salary and the importance of being geographically flexible). 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. It concerns me that you feel like a number. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further and more than happy to listen to any ideas you have on how we could improve. Please email 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.
