      Great experience for college grads

      Pros

      For a recent college grad, getting placed with an amazing IT company (they treat all employees well, genuinely want to keep us after the 2 year contract, get to travel occasionally) is all I could've asked for. Definitely utilize all available resources to you. I, too, was once terrified of all the negative reviews on glassdoor and almost quit before the 2 week probationary period. Trust me, as long as you know what you're getting into, this is an amazing deal.

      Cons

      Make sure you're adamant about not being geo flexible. That's the one big advantage I had going into this. Also don't be afraid to say no to jobs that don't appeal to you at all (but don't be overly picky either).

      Java Development

      Java developer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Want to learn java and have never done it before training is quite good.

      Cons

      Go to UK for €170 per week for 16 weeks. Promises of loads of jobs but most people in Ireland are never placed. €26,000 for a java developer is way below average for working in Dublin. Get more as a graduate.Tied in for 90 days after doing their academy which means you can't work with anybody else either. From your first day of employment you are tied to that money for 2 years.

      Gambling on your future

      Graduate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      FDM can set you up with roles in well respected companies, potentially jump starting your career in IT.

      Cons

      No sick pay.Minimum holiday leave + no pay for bank holidays (which are forced) You have 17 days to choose yourself. Very little support on site. Terrible training where they saddle you with £20,000 of debt. No thought or consideration for you as an individual. You are a commodity - a cow for milking. Lots of graduates have not been lucky with placement and have been beached/ kicked around/lied to and down right exploited.

      I’m extremely sorry to hear that you do not feel valued and that you don’t think the training was useful. Our people are the most important asset and are our business which is why we invest a significant amount of resources into helping graduates launch their careers. The training is fully funded by FDM and, like any business, FDM needs to realise a return on its investment. This is why the two-year bond is in place –allowing the fees to be paid back only on the very rare occasion that the contract is broken. The vast majority of FDM consultants enjoy successful and lucrative careers. Your comment about being lied to worries me greatly. Honesty and integrity are core values for me and, therefore, if you believe that anyone at FDM lied to you or lied to any of your FDM colleagues I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further so that I can personally investigate. Please come and see me or email Jonathan.Young@fdmgroup.com
