FDM Group Review

Pros

FDM is a great company to work at as it gets you through the door in the IT industry and trains you. The trainers are very effective in teaching you learn the material, and the company culture here at FDM is very, very above average. Most of the positions that FDM refers you into (for other companies) are typically not entry level jobs. You will most likely not be able to obtain such a position if you are straight out of college.

Cons

FDM locks you into a 2 year contract after the second week if you decide to stay.

Pros

From the recruitment/sales standpoint, the environment in the wall street office is incredibly supportive and open. Trainees hang out together and develop friendships not only amongst themselves but with the trainers as well. The Academy trainers, recruitment team, account managers, finance team, HR, marketing teams are all friendly towards one another. As part of the recruitment team, I tried to keep in contact with those I recruited - they all were very happy with the training, with the networking opportunities as well, they really, tenjoyed it. Myself - I would not have continued into Account Management if I did not also truly enjoy what I did, if I did not see that we really did help individuals build their IT careers. To compare FDM to more sinister forms of employment such as slavery is completely ludicrous and insulting to our history as a nation. FDM's model doesn't even come close - our Academy is designed for individual success and with any business there is a crucial component of profits. Simple as that.

Cons

Continuous improvement needs to still occur of course, as with any business. I'm not sure how much more transparent we can get, but perhaps we should continue to look into this. Increased communication between all levels/teams/trainees - communication is always key and we are improving on this.
