FDM Group reviews

Working with FDM is like being in a chain gang except FDM use their contract to make you stay. A £20000 get out clause is ridiculous and that’s what it is, as there’s no way their training costs this much. Also be very weary of 5 star reviews on here as the majority are fake to either promote FDM or someones agenda in the Company, you can normally tell who’s by looking at who responds. In my honest opinion if all the fake reviews was removed FDM would be around a 2.5 star company. Below is a list of what is bad about FDM as you can see from over reviews. Bad salary, terrible contract, possible multiple relocations, little assistance on sites with clients, minimum pension contributions, little feedback after interviews. All of them is from my experience with the company.

They make you commit to 9 weeks unpaid training, which will invariably turn into 3 months waiting around. During which they will ensure you turn up to the office in your best clothes every day. They will feel no remorse that you were stupid enough to buy their recruitment pitch where you were promised you would be on site within 6 weeks, and ended up in a poor financial position as you had to pay for living expenses for this time. Whilst threatening you with a £20,000ish release clause. Some people may find this position rewarding, but in retrospect, giving away your wages for almost two years isn't worth it. They will show you many infographics online detailing just how perfect they are, but in reality it's just another company taking advantage of graduates and those leaving the forces. The account managers are treated like gods, they parade around knowing fine well that your future is in their hands. Plus they will only put the people they like forward for roles. The CEO/COO may well show up, and the day they do they will be treated as if the Queen is visiting.
