Graduate Program (Singapore)

Pros

'The FDM Graduate Programme is a fantastic opportunity to kick-start your career in IT.' This is definitely true. I was given the chance to learn new skills like Unix, PL/SQL, Excel VBA and module specifics like UFT, QC, Selenium IDE even though I was not from IT background. If you are passionate in IT but do not have the experience, I highly recommend FDM as they help you create the platform you need in this industry. We are paid a minimal sum during the training period, which I'm thankful for. Pay (during placement) is relatively high for a fresh graduate. Pre-selection was done in my case, where the group of us were first selected by the client, before FDM offered us a place. This may not be the case for all trainees. Staffs are friendly and approachable.

Cons

The pay is fixed for two years during the bond. This may not necessarily be a con as the pay is relatively high for a fresh graduate. The debate on salary is highly dependent on individual's perspective. Fixed bond of two years starting with placement date. Again, seeing that this is a Graduate Program and likely to be your first job, two years is quite reasonable.

Pros

Amazing training program. Helped me prepare for IT jobs at bigger companies. Some of the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Two year contract is a double edged sword. I was stuck with a 45k salary for two years, but I also got much needed experience in IT.

Pros

FDM NYC has good clients specially in the financial industry. If you love technology and finance this is probably the place that will get you there Good insurance benefits

Cons

Pay- They should really be paying more competitive salaries, specially for the amount of money they make out of you. Management- There a few good people here but for the most part account managers try to manipulate people into taking jobs they do not want (careful if you want to be a developer, don't let them push you into an app support role you will not be happy) and have no flexibility withing the first 2 years of your contract, they do not work with you to help they try to manipulate.
