Grad Scheme

Pros

The training is very good and they accept applicants from all backgrounds. There are opportunities to work for great cliens all over the world.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other grad schemes and training is completely unpaid, with some training lasting more than 3 months. If you complete training and are not placed you're forced to sit around the office unpaid until you are placed. Also you don't have as much control over your career as they make out you're pretty much forced to follow orders.

Pros

The only positive about joining FDM Group is that you learn how to avoid dodgy companies like this in the future.

Cons

One of the lowest salaries in the market with a very funny raise in the second year. FDM is renting you to other companies as sub-contractors, FDM gets loads of money because of your work and you get pennies. For your managers and the company you are only money producing units nothing more, they will never hear your concerns. In terms of benefits they give the bare minimum. Only pension. And this is because the government has made this mandatory. Training provided is very minimal. Many of the trainers are not very knowledgable. I you have a MSc expect to know more than your trainers.

Pros

Works out well If you get placed with a prestigious client and couldn't get a job prior

Cons

- Don't care about your development - too much sales focus - Consistently lie and mislead delegates (I was told you'd get paid straight after training and that I get a choice of what roles I can apply for, all of which is false. Recruiters will lie to you so you stay and they get their commission. - Pay is terrible - Expect you to relocate anywhere with minimal help - Still competing with other delegates (if on business stream, you'll struggle if you don't have a Finance or IT background despite what they say) - After training they expect you to come into office everyday from 8:45 to 5:30 and ''upskill". Feels like a prison as you have to come in everyday and wait for an email and can do nothing else apart from "upskill" whatever that means...
