Interview
I applied for the Technical Analyst Graduate Programme online and was contacted about 2 weeks after submitting an application. The interview process is very comprehensive - phone call with the recruiter, followed by video interview with the recruiter, then an online aptitude test and lastly, final rounds of interviews during assessment day. The recruiters are wonderful and do their best to ensure the process is seamless and give ample support throughout. The last round of assessment is done in person where they talk a little bit about the work FDM has done before I had two rounds of interviews - one with a project manager for a strength based interview, and another with one of their instructors for a technical interview. I liked that both interviewers did not get to see our resumes as this ensured that they are not clouded by their perception of the type of education we received and/or career experience before meeting the candidates.

They do not accept candidates who are on a bridging visa even if visa holders have unlimited work rights, this is absolutely discrimination and is against law. Not recommended at all.
