Some really nice trainers and other departmental staff.
I gained the Prince2 classification (thus the 2 stars overall).
The offices are also nice but these are only invested in to promote the illusion to the business's they're attempting to contract you to, and probably for the trainers and other staff who deep-down know the business they're working for is wrong, but force themselves to stay - at least they're getting paid, right?
Cons
FDM prays on inexperienced professionals with no regards to them as a person.
Whether you are a graduate, ex-military or a woman returning to work - I know how you feel - but do yourself a favor and avoid FDM.

We welcome all feedback and take it very seriously. I’m glad you like our offices and rate the training team highly. I’m sorry you wouldn’t recommend FDM though. Our business model is based on assisting graduates, ex-Forces and returners to work launch/re-launch careers. Our people are the most important asset and are our business, which is why we invest a significant amount of resources into helping people launch careers. The training period is financially funded by FDM: At that point you are training, rather than working – and the salary begins once you’re placed on a client site. It is also at that point when FDM can begin to make a return on the upfront investment that we made in you. The vast majority of FDM consultants progress to enjoy successful and lucrative careers. I’m very sorry it didn’t work out for you though. We always encourage people to post an honest review on Glassdoor in regards to their experience – which may be positive or negative (we do not ask anyone to change ratings or fiddle with them). I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further if you’re up for it. Please feel free to email me directly, my email address is andy.brown@fdmgroup.com
