Pros

Remote training is the only pro

Cons

FDM is a horrible company to work for. You get the bare minimum training, if you fail a weekly exam you get fired immediately they don't care. A couple of the secondary trainers are really nice and helpful however that was overshadowed by the main trainer being racist and sexist. If you survive the training you are "rewarded" with a "competitive" salary of £20k, they then sell you to other companies for £60k+ while you are capped at £20k. There is no job security as in their contract they state the can "in our sole and absolute discretion, terminate your employment at any time and with immediate effect" . Basically if their sales reps don't find you a placement quick enough they fire you because they mass hire and their training is so bad that you will be unable to get another job in that field with that "experience"

Pros

Base salary paid once you've been on site and have come back from client side. Meaning you can go from 25k to 20k once you are off the project. Certain in house staff members are really nice and genuine people Large list of client Basic training can land you a good role in a well known company if you are lucky. Good leverage after you have completed your 2 years

Cons

Many cons... 2 year contract tie in with ridiculous pay back amount if you leave early. Minimal benefits Could be placed on client site with a really bad client. - Has happened to many people. When in office you are micromanaged for the smallest of things. This will refelct bad when it comes to speaking to account managers. Some trainers are absolutely horrible people. Could be placed on client site doing a project completely unrelated to what you have been trained in. Need to approach account manager for roles and it feels like you have to beg to be put on a placement. If account manager does not like you/the look of you/your attitude or anything of the sort just know that any role that comes their way you are on the red list. Pay is not great I'll break it down for you: 20k base 1st year day rate: £19.88 - London (25k PA) £13.30 roughly - Outside of london (23.5k PA) 2nd Year: £28.88 - London (27.5k PA) £23.12 - Outside of London (26k PA)

Never work for FDM

Pros

Other than the fact wages were paid on time and some colleagues brightened what is a soul crushing place to work, none.

Cons

Nepotism, sexism, racism and bullying from senior management is rife. Unless you’re great at playing the game or are a friend/family member, then get out. Unprofessional behaviour on an almost daily basis from the most senior company officers. They seem to forget that without the employees that they always seem to be screaming at, the company would be more of a shambles than it already is! Publicly all about diversity but they don’t care for it within their own UK internal FDM workforce. This was evident in the treatment of certain colleagues. Unfortunately this company will likely never change because senior management sees nothing wrong with their managerial style (if you can call it that!)
