FDM Group reviews

I got placed on site at UBS my 5th week at FDM. Fdm has not only helped me excel in my career, but also improve my interpersonal and communication skills. The training is very challenging, as it is very fast paced and you are also expected to go to interviews while you are in training. However, this fast paced environment comes in play when you are placed onsite, as your work onsite is equally as challenging if not more. This is what I love about FDM the most, this challenge constantly thrives me to improve myself a little more everyday. I have been onsite about 4 months now, and when I look back to the person I was when I walked in through the doors of FDM to now, I realized that I am glad I made the choice to apply to FDM. All the trainers, managers and account managers are extremely friendly and helpful! They are always there to help out, even when you are on site, they make sure to reach out to you regarding your experience.

Good for people who have had trouble obtaining a job. They dont require you to sign a contract when they accept you, so you can basically continue to look for other opportunities until 2 weeks into your start date - as thats when you are locked in. They provide you with paid training for a certain number of months depending on which stream you take. What I found particularly useful was the SQL and UNIX training sessions as they are structured very well and the complimenting materials and exercises very quite helpful. In my opinion, the training session serves as buffer time where you get to improve your own skills while the account managers are searching for openings for you to get places. The goal is to basically get you placed at a client site asap. Its better for them, because then you are no longer a liability for them, and its better for you because then you're getting paid more. If you get lucky you can even skip out on some of the training due to being placed early; which is definitely a plus because you will start getting paid more sooner.
