Pros

The only positive about joining FDM Group is that you learn how to avoid dodgy companies like this in the future.

Cons

One of the lowest salaries in the market with a very funny raise in the second year. FDM is renting you to other companies as sub-contractors, FDM gets loads of money because of your work and you get pennies. For your managers and the company you are only money producing units nothing more, they will never hear your concerns. In terms of benefits they give the bare minimum. Only pension. And this is because the government has made this mandatory. Training provided is very minimal. Many of the trainers are not very knowledgable. I you have a MSc expect to know more than your trainers.

Pros

Willing to help you get your feet off the ground. You get to work with major companies. paid training. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful. They are very honest about the pay and every other aspect of the job.

Cons

Minimum wage paid training. (8 hour days). And the salary is basically 37 thousand a year. Which is tough to live on in a city like toronto

Pros

- Free Training (I could never have afforded this myself) - Great clients (I have been placed at HSBC) - Really beautiful office in London - Nice environment

Cons

- Wish the salary was higher, its below the industry standard. I would never have got a job like this otherwise though, everywhere wanted experience and I didn't have any, I was straight out of university. After my 2 yrs I can command a massive salary though! - Loads of negative reviews online from years ago which really winds me up. End up having to defend FDM to my friends who say its a scam. It really isnt!!
