Pros

For a new graduate like myself I did not have a hope of getting a job in the IT sector without experience FDM gave me that experience and, to be completely honest, I have loved my time with them. Heck, I've just signed up for year 3! If you need a kickstart for your career then look no further

Cons

Having to be geographically flexible is a pita however I was beached (between contracts) for a couple of months after Xmas and whilst they still do expect that we be flexible they will endeavour to place you according to preference after a little time served. Sick pay....oh wait no they now do pay sick pay :)

Thank you for taking the time to post an honest and constructive review. I’m glad that you’re loving your experience with FDM and that you have signed up for a third year. We are always looking for ways to improve and if you would be willing to meet with me to discuss your feedback further, I would welcome the opportunity. I am particularly keen to speak about how we can improve the feedback process post interview. Please come and see me or email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com

Pros

You get placed with a client quickly. You get good basic training which will get you through basic tasks at client sites.

Cons

No support once on client site financially or professionally. You might end up trying to survive on minimum wage. If you are ill or unable to work you only get SSP which equates to nothing when you are already on a low wage. No feedback or progression planned within the company. Transitioning to full time with client is very difficult and FDM don't help in the process.
