      Fantastic Placement Opportunities

      Pros

      For a placement student, it's very easy to find a company where you are seen as ‘just another intern', working on specific projects designed for your level of business experience. At FDM, I am the only placement student for my role and it makes a big difference to have that kind of automatic integration with the rest of the workforce. I am undertaking new tasks daily and work with various departments within the company, meaning that I can leave FDM after 12 months knowing that I have developed in multiple areas. Most of all, these tasks are significant to the company which of course makes me feel valued.

      Cons

      Working hours can be demanding around university events but it's part of the job.

      Very mixed experience

      Pros

      - Brilliant trainers, who are not valued enough by the company in my opinion. They have the best relationship and know the graduates best yet the account managers never seek help from them. They have great knowledge and vast experience to draw on and inspire the graduates. - Good training (not worth anywhere near £20k however) - Nice office -In general the people are very friendly and welcoming

      Cons

      - Sales Team! minimal interaction with candidates, they make their mind up who they like and dislike very early on and do not update their views. They put people forward for jobs they are not trained in ahead of people who are the heavily experienced. -Low pay - You can do everything they ask and still not get a job within 90 days (after completing your training) - Your two year contract only begins after you start a job with a client, this could be up to 6 months after you start your unpaid training

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I’m glad you think the trainers are brilliant and that you enjoyed working in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The majority of trainees are secured a placement before their 90 days, a lot of them are even placed before they finish their training and have a role waiting for them. Our utilisation rate is above 97%, and it is certainly not in our interest to have trainees without a placement. I agree that communication could be improved and if you would be willing to discuss your feedback further with me, please email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com Jonathan Young - CIO
