Pros

They placed me in Paris after my first interview. They do listen to me and help me out however their departments feel slightly incompetent at times... We have a great HR assignee however who does care about us which is comforting :)

Cons

Salary/benefits are low and no way of negotiating your placement/salary/etc

Pros

None, start of pay of 12 bucks for 4 months. Not worth it.

Cons

I am with FDM for more that 10 Months now no job no pay. Their job posting is exactly same as other agencies. Companies look down on FDM consultants, they see them as useless. The contract makes u binded to FDM and you cannot apply outside. Im sitting at home and unable to apply to jobs outside. THERE ARE FAKE REVIEWS ON HERE, CLAIM THAT FDM IS VERY GOOD. THEY ASKED EVERYONE AT FDM TO WRITE POSITIVE REVIEWS ONLY. THEY TRY TO MAKE U BREAK TO CONTRACT, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A PENALTY ABOUT $30,000. TAKE THIS ADVICE AND DON'T JOIN.

Thank you for your feedback. Your comment regarding “no pay for ten months” is concerning as all FDM employees receive a regular paycheck; there are no unpaid roles. In Canada, FDM compensates all consultants from day one of their training through the two-year placement period, whether they are actively on-site or between client placements. If there have been issues with your pay, please reach out to our Payroll or HR department who will investigate immediately. FDM’s careers program is unique and we recognize that it may not be the right fit for everyone, which is why we try to be as transparent as possible in explaining the model as well as all the terms and conditions (including the salary) during the Interview Day. This is also why we offer the 2-week ‘cooling off’ period after starting for you to better determine if FDM is the right career path for you. As a business, FDM wants to successfully train and place every candidate we recruit; having a consultant break their contract is a loss to us and something we would never encourage. Though in most cases our consultants are pre-selected for a client placement before they even complete their training, occasionally this is not the case. It is the goal of our Account Managers and Consultant Support team to minimize consultants’ downtime between roles or after training. If you are, as you say, sitting at home, my first recommendation would be to come in to the FDM office. Request mock interviews with our Account Managers, additional training from our academy, and ultimately aim to continually hone and improve your skills so that you will perform to the very best of your ability for your next interview with an FDM client. FDM is here to help in any way we can, so I encourage you to take advantage of these resources. We do not solicit fake reviews. The honest feedback from our employees is important to us and we truly listen to the comments we receive here. While I’m sorry to hear that your experience has not been more positive, many FDM consultants and employees do enjoy their experience with us and leave honest feedback indicating so. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback further if you’re willing. Andy Brown
