I’m sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your time with FDM. Our people are important and we invest a significant amount of resources (financial and non-financial) into helping graduates launch their careers. The training is fully funded by FDM and like any business it needs to recoup its investment, which is why the two-year bond is in place. Being geographically flexible is part of the agreement and we appreciate it doesn’t suit everyone, which is why there is a ‘cooling off’ period where anyone can drop out in the first two weeks. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further with you. Please come and see me or email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com. Jonathan Young - CIO

Pros

As a college grad without much experience in programming, the training at FDM really prepared me for life on site at Fannie Mae as a software developer! The trainers really cared about our success and were very knowledgable about the subject they were teaching. Not only were the technical skills valuable, but the professional skills training prepared me for any future interviews I may have. FDM allows you the opportunity to get your foot in the door to make an impression that could turn you from being a contractor with a client into a full time employee after your 2 year contract. Overall great experience and very happy with where I have been placed and felt very prepared before going on site.

Cons

Sometime slow to place after training is finished
