      Good to get your foot in the door but be aware of being pushed into a job you don't want

      Pros

      FDM NYC has good clients specially in the financial industry. If you love technology and finance this is probably the place that will get you there Good insurance benefits

      Cons

      Pay- They should really be paying more competitive salaries, specially for the amount of money they make out of you. Management- There a few good people here but for the most part account managers try to manipulate people into taking jobs they do not want (careful if you want to be a developer, don't let them push you into an app support role you will not be happy) and have no flexibility withing the first 2 years of your contract, they do not work with you to help they try to manipulate.

      Pros

      Solid enough environment for starting a career in IT; especially if you're looking to enter the industry. Client work can be interesting.

      Cons

      Lot of red flags during applications. Require a "commitment" of two years minimum working for them, otherwise they levy the hefty £20k arrears fee they value their training at (it isn't worth nearly that much)

      Thank you for your feedback. Our training is designed quite closely to be fit for purpose with the current demands of the industry. We tailor this in collaboration with our clients and their requirements (we would be out of business if the training wasn't suitable). It’s also important to remember that you are not only receiving high quality training in both professional and technical skills, you also benefit from job placement assistance and access to a network of industry leaders – all things that are invaluable at the start of your career.

      Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

      Pros

      There is a good opportunity for grads to work for big companies that they wouldn't be able to get into otherwise. If you are lucky...it can be a good career start.

      Cons

      Training is performed usually by ex trainees that had more knowledge, were not placed with a client..and VOILÁ! They become trainers (lol). Not all of them, but with some that's the case. Sales (account managers) treat you like crap (around 80% of them) - and I am saying this considering that I have a very high crap tollerance and I've always got along with them. For them you are just a puppet that must be sold to clients. Nothing more, nothing less. All the threaths about sueing that u've been reading about are true. Oh wait - all bad comments u read here are true :))) What makes me happy is to see that people are not blind! If you want to give it a try, make sure you know what you get urself into, pros and cons so you won't regret it later. Is a good choice...when you have no other choice!

      Thank you for your comments. In response to some of your points I would like to mention that I only know of 2 trainers who were both trainees with FDM prior to becoming trainers themselves. This is out of circa 30 trainers in country. Both trainers joined FDM with great credentials, one in particular joined from an IT industry background. FDM has started the careers of over 5000 graduates over the past 8 years and I am delighted to say that a vast number of alumni have gone on to do great things. FDM continues to be voted the destination of choice by a vast number of students as listed in the 'Job Crowd' top companies to work for 2015/2016, with comments such as "Great way to kick start a career with job opportunities, training and experience that wouldn't be available anywhere else." Once again thanks for your comments and good luck in your career. I will take note of your comments and would like to wish you good luck in your career.
