Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

Pros

There is a good opportunity for grads to work for big companies that they wouldn't be able to get into otherwise. If you are lucky...it can be a good career start.

Cons

Training is performed usually by ex trainees that had more knowledge, were not placed with a client..and VOILÁ! They become trainers (lol). Not all of them, but with some that's the case. Sales (account managers) treat you like crap (around 80% of them) - and I am saying this considering that I have a very high crap tollerance and I've always got along with them. For them you are just a puppet that must be sold to clients. Nothing more, nothing less. All the threaths about sueing that u've been reading about are true. Oh wait - all bad comments u read here are true :))) What makes me happy is to see that people are not blind! If you want to give it a try, make sure you know what you get urself into, pros and cons so you won't regret it later. Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

FDM Group Response
10y
Thank you for your comments. In response to some of your points I would like to mention that I only know of 2 trainers who were both trainees with FDM prior to becoming trainers themselves. This is out of circa 30 trainers in country. Both trainers joined FDM with great credentials, one in particular joined from an IT industry background. FDM has started the careers of over 5000 graduates over the past 8 years and I am delighted to say that a vast number of alumni have gone on to do great things. FDM continues to be voted the destination of choice by a vast number of students as listed in the 'Job Crowd' top companies to work for 2015/2016, with comments such as "Great way to kick start a career with job opportunities, training and experience that wouldn't be available anywhere else." Once again thanks for your comments and good luck in your career. I will take note of your comments and would like to wish you good luck in your career.

Pros

FDM offers great opportunities for fresh graduates to venture into IT and finance sector. IT industry is up and coming with an array of new jobs created (and to be created) in which technical skills is highly sought after. enrolling in this program allows me to marry both my business knowledge learnt in school and the technical training (SQL, VBA, ITIL, PLSQL, PRINCE2). External certification is also sponsored by the company. In terms of the client base, FDM has a wide range of clients in Singapore mainly from the finance sector with many placement opportunities available.

Cons

The FDM model may not suit everyone as you have to undergo training (ranging from 9 weeks to 16 weeks depending on the pathway you choose) before you get placed with a suitable client based on your skills sets and personality.

Shafted by a terrible company with a terrible ethos

Pros

Possible foot in the door if you are one of the lucky or special ones.

Cons

The training is mostly self taught Some of the trainers don't know one end of a spreadsheet from the other Some senior managers treat Mounties like children. One member of staff is renowned for sacking Mounties for no reason. Say one thing to your face, another behind your back. Communication between sales and Mounties is shocking. Job descriptions you are sent are vague. Sales staff are slow to give feedback post interview and don't tell you results of interviews unless pushed. Salary is not location adjusted. London is expensive. Fact. Will send you for interviews you are not qualified or trained for. Happy to kick you out if you slip up at all which for a people centric company is laughable.
