Pros

Trained in 2012 and training in SQL and Unix were very good. These skills are still valuable to me now ISTQB certificate If you're lucky, you'll be placed in a great company with great people

Cons

Feel more of an asset than an employee No say in where you want to work whether that be industry or location Recently, people have not been placed in roles they applied for. PMs and BAs have been placed in Test roles Many consultants are unhappy No trust between sales people, managers and consultants

FDM Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I’m glad to see you worked with us for over three years and that you rate the training highly. Even though location preferences for placement are taken into consideration, we have clients throughout the UK and where you may be based is not determined by us; it is determined by the client and the assignment. Being geographically flexible is a requirement to join FDM as you know and is re-iterated throughout the recruitment process. We appreciate that the FDM Careers Programme is not for everyone, which is why we are fully transparent about the importance of flexibility in roles and location. The majority of employees embrace the opportunities and go on to have extremely lucrative careers. I hope the FDM experience helped you and we wish you the best of luck in your career journey. Andy Brown – Group Commercial Director
