      Graduate Program (Singapore)

      Pros

      'The FDM Graduate Programme is a fantastic opportunity to kick-start your career in IT.' This is definitely true. I was given the chance to learn new skills like Unix, PL/SQL, Excel VBA and module specifics like UFT, QC, Selenium IDE even though I was not from IT background. If you are passionate in IT but do not have the experience, I highly recommend FDM as they help you create the platform you need in this industry. We are paid a minimal sum during the training period, which I'm thankful for. Pay (during placement) is relatively high for a fresh graduate. Pre-selection was done in my case, where the group of us were first selected by the client, before FDM offered us a place. This may not be the case for all trainees. Staffs are friendly and approachable.

      Cons

      The pay is fixed for two years during the bond. This may not necessarily be a con as the pay is relatively high for a fresh graduate. The debate on salary is highly dependent on individual's perspective. Fixed bond of two years starting with placement date. Again, seeing that this is a Graduate Program and likely to be your first job, two years is quite reasonable.

      Pros

      You meet nice consultants forget about permanent staff especially HR and account mangers they treat you as they won you since you made the mistake of signing the contract

      Cons

      Bad pay even compared to working at Pret a a manager full time 80% of placement is personal assistant/ documentation support services ( I am talking about business stream) The 20% of placement which are actually good might not come from top companies double check the role not the name similar to their way of thinking. The overall values of the companies are so bad you can see that in their structure the high returns they get from the consultants contract is distributed between recruiters account mangers and shareholder. Whatever happens is your fault while you are at FDM or on site they will never stand by you they are always fighting you and when it comes to problems on sight they will put the blame on you regardless of what actually happens which leads to disciplinary and even if they sack you they will ask for the money They value of there business training is no more than 6000£ if you are doing it outside and at a better quality still they price it at 20000£ their trainers are below average

      Jonathan Young, CIO: "Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you feel you have not had a good experience at FDM. We are extremely upfront regarding the pay package that we provide. It is outlined a number of times during the recruitment process before we present it to you in the contract. In addition, there is a 2 week “cooling-off” period at the start of the training where should you decide to leave, you are free to do so without fulfilling the contract, which is unusual for a graduate training programme. Our business model includes award-winning training, support and a network that you would not find from a recruitment agency. We employ all our candidates ourselves and therefore are clearly not a recruitment agency. The training has been designed in collaboration with our clients and their specifications – and is regularly valued successfully against the market. This bespoke training is one of the reasons they continue to work with us for the long-term. I am sorry you felt that the training/trainers were ‘below average’. Trainees are asked to provide training feedback weekly, as I am sure you experienced, so I hope you raised your concerns at the time so that we had a chance to improve on any specific areas you are referring to. If you did not, and you would like to speak to me personally about areas of training, HR or Account Management that can be improved, please contact me by emailing jonathan.young@fdmgroup.com."
