      Great start to your career

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get placed at great clients in roles that would not be possible if you were to apply through the standard process. Even though the pay is not great, after the two years it is likely that you will be made permanent at the client and salary rises significantly. You also have some really good account managers and trainers who genuinely want you to succeed.

      Cons

      The pay is not great and some of the account managers will try and shoehorn you into a role that isn't the best fit.

      Exploitative company with the worst HR team ever

      Support analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good training, easy interview and they have some great clients. For those who really want to go into IT only, you will need to suck up a minimum of 2 years plus training with them.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, its all downhill from there. Beware a lot of other reviews are written by HR and Account Managers not the Consultants. -Whilst they have great clients, they often place you with clients/locations you don't want and worse still you can be placed in roles that you didn't even train. (many developers have ended up in testing or support roles and vice verse) -pay is terrible with no rises in the base salary since 2012 -Never speak to HR without a Union rep even if they just want a "friendly chat" -Having said that, once you are on site, FDM don't care about you except for chasing on your timesheets. -Pay negotiations outside of 2nd year are terrible, HR are always bullshitting about how these are calculated...every negotiation includes the phrase "I will need to raise a case"
