FDM Group Software Developer reviews

Pay is abysmally low for a programmer. One of my friends who worked for them told me FDM got paid around 120k per person that got hired I got maybe a third of that. No overtime pay. My contract was for a year and a half. After that, I had to stay at FDM getting paid around minimum wage while still coming in every day. The only way to leave was to pay 20,000. Which coming from college grads (their main audience and me) is pretty harsh. Management is terrible here, they constantly were saying things were my fault when they lack proper communication and were their fault e.g. if they lost my documents and then telling me I am giving them an attitude after telling them that they lost them. Also, there are ongoing lawsuits I heard around them, with them over not paying overtime, the exit fees and probably a few others that I am unaware of just an FYI.

Oppressive - you lack any freedom on where you are placed and once you realise FDM is not a fit for you then you are threatened to pay £15,000. Managers are also very unsympathetic even if you have mental health issues. You are not a human but a number for the employer and also Account managers lie so much it’s unbelievable. FDM clients are also lied to as FDM consultants are marketed has been experienced when most are just recent graduates. The company takes advantage of desperate graduates and forces them to serve 2 years it’s like a prison sentence.
