FDM Group reviews

It does say in your contract that you need to be geographically flexible but there is a very high chance you will need to go to London so keep that in mind before signing. Apparently everyone typically get placed. That is a lie, during my time there was at least 15 people (including myself) who reached the end of their 90 days without even an interview. If you do not get placed you need to survive unpaid for months or get another job and work stupid hours seven days a week. They have a fantastic office space which can lure people in, do not be fooled by it! There is absolutely no communication between recruitment, sales or the training staff. It almost seems like three companies operating under one roof which results in far too many trainees and no jobs. When you occasionally do catch up with the sales staff they will tell you contracts are coming do not worry about a thing and just lie to your face about up coming opportunities. You have absolutely no say in what roles you are put forward for. They will say we pick CV's based on who matches a clients requirements.. This is a lie, it almost seems like CV's are picked at random. The salary is significantly lower than other graduate schemes especially if you are working in London. The award winning training is actually pretty garbage. A few courses like excel and SQL are useful but most are just reading slides off of power point and then doing a presentation. Really think about it before you sign the contract, there is a chance you will be sitting around for six months, unpaid and if you do get a job you might need to move across the country on a few days notice.

Business knowledge training needs some improvement. Other than that, everything is fine.
