Pros

High Quality Training. You get interviews with companies who wouldn't otherwise look at your resume. Great first job out of college.

Cons

You are an indentured servant for 2 years post training. You have to pay a giant fee if you leave early. Pay is low. A bit pushy in their progressive politics, if you are not into that you have to bite your tongue.

Pros

meeting my former colleagues

Cons

* the training is rushed and doesn't allow for actual learning every week felt like cramming in for an exam, * disorganised. They've spelt my last name wrong and didn't bother to change it. *Feedback given by "trainers" was sub par and that's putting it mildly. *There was no effort placed in getting you ready for working at those big companies. * The teaching material was horrible and so were the teaching methods used by so called "trainers". * The training really isn't £20000 especially considering I've paid £9000 per year for my university degree. The resources given to FDM trainees lacks severely in comparison to what's given at universities. *Everything was self taught trainers didn't help you understand the material whatsoever. They only have a week so they go through the motions and leave asap. *You really need a background in programming or computer science just being from a stem background won't exactly help . *Everyone knows about the unpaid training which doesn't help. *The feedback given by trainers on exams and written assessments was conflicting in every way possible. People had the same answers yet one was marked down for it and the other didn't. It was vague and didn't help you improve. One trainers said something and the other says something else. Complete and utter nonsense. STAY AWAY GRADUATES put your efforts and commitment elsewhere where it's appreciated at FDM it isn't.

Pros

- Good Business Model - A door to start your career in technology

Cons

- Family Business - Company will not provide support once you’re working with clients. You will be told off for any escalations. - Communications gap between regional heads and headquarters. - Lack of proper corporate governances as a FTSE 250 company - Lack of escalation channels to headquarters and even HR turn blind eyes on certain issues, like bullying
