FDM Group reviews

I joined the grabiate program and left after 3 days., Others in my group left before me. Essentially they "hire" you and try and place you on one of their client sites which are few and far between. Why are they so avaid about hiring? It's because they do not pay you, if you don't get placed you still need to turn up everyday without pay for 6 months then they will eventually drop you. This is a shady company as they try and get you to sign a contract saying that if you leave, you will be liable for the "training" costs. I left on day 3 as that is when you had to make your decision and sign your life away. The trainking which in my case was a Prince 2 course which costs £300. My first 3 days were learning "proffesinal" skills such as locking your computer when you leave your desk, how to give a good handshake and also how to use email. This is suppose to be the training you are liable for 20k if you leave once you sign the contract. The culture was also not right to begin with. It seemed people were afraid and didn't talk, those who were benched were sitting in the office (without pay) desperately hoping for a job. Now I have actually worked in several reputable companies I realise how bad this place is. Their business model preys on desperate graduates. Please do yourself a favour bet on yourself, something better will come along it did for me, I left this place to go work in Tesco stacking shelf that's how bad it was. I am now working as a consultant in a senior role. I wrote a review a few years ago but it was removed, so hopefully this gets through to one person. You are better than this place, believe in yourself.

No one cares about you here. You will just be a bunch of dollar signs. They will pressure you and treat you like you know nothing so you become play dough for them and can shove you into any opportunity they can find. I have been personally bullied by most of the account managers. Went to HR, got bullied there too. I saw others around me get bullied, some to the point where they just had to resign. If you really want a job, you can do it, but make sure you bring a lot of self esteem with you.
