      Good place to start your career

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      • It is a good opportunity for recent graduates to start their IT career if unable to get a job. • They provide 3 to 4 months of fast paced training and certifications based on the stream selected. Trainers have good knowledge and are very supportive. During the training, you get paid minimum wage (which was not the case when I joined). • You get opportunity to work with one of the top 5 banks in Canada. • If not placed with a client within 3 months of your training, you are free to leave FDM. • 2 years of employment guarantee: This can be both pro and con. Sometimes if you get beached, it might take longer time to join another client. But, I have seen some of them who were beached and joined another client in a month. • You have higher chances of joining the client that you are working with at the end of your contract. FDM encourages you to join the client but, you have the option to continue with FDM, join the client or go on your own. • I have always received good support and timely responses from the trainers, HR and account managers.

      Cons

      • Pay is lower than the market rate. • After training, you may not get to work on the same technology as you were trained and usually clients don't provide training. Sometimes you don’t even get a clear job description until you talk to the interviewer or actually start working with the client. • You are bound to work with them for 2 years. If you quit before your 2 year contract ends, you will have to pay $30K CAD.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to learn and develop

      Cons

      Poor Communication Still a small company with only a few hundred staff members You need to be part of the director's friendship group to get a good role.

      Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. I’m pleased that you recognise that there are lots of opportunities to learn and develop. FDM is growing rapidly (currently 3000+ FDM consultants on site and circa 500 internal staff members). A significant number of FDMers throughout the company are referrals which we pride ourselves on. However, I assure you that positions are earned and not granted based on any friendships. Communication is something we are always striving to improve on and if you’re willing to share your ideas with me it would be great to discuss how you think we could improve. Please email me directly at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer
