FDM Group reviews

You're placed on a strict 2 year contract and the two years don't start until you are placed with your employer. Your employer can't buy out your contract. The pay is a bit low for the two years and you'll get paid the same regardless of where you're hired. You may not like your team or employer and you have no real say in the matter if you get chosen as a candidate. If you struggle in the course work it's difficult to get additional help. Overtime is discouraged once placed with a client, you only work up to 40 hours a week and it can become awkward planning deadlines.

Pay is abysmally low for a programmer. One of my friends who worked for them told me FDM got paid around 120k per person that got hired I got maybe a third of that. No overtime pay. My contract was for a year and a half. After that, I had to stay at FDM getting paid around minimum wage while still coming in every day. The only way to leave was to pay 20,000. Which coming from college grads (their main audience and me) is pretty harsh. Management is terrible here, they constantly were saying things were my fault when they lack proper communication and were their fault e.g. if they lost my documents and then telling me I am giving them an attitude after telling them that they lost them. Also, there are ongoing lawsuits I heard around them, with them over not paying overtime, the exit fees and probably a few others that I am unaware of just an FYI.
