FDM Group

Going to interview with them. I've already read all about the ups and downs; basically, you do a few months unpaid training, then get placed at a job (unless you're unlucky), and will be fine unless you break the two year commitment.

My question is, does anyone here know whether you are provided any housing for the training period? I can't find the answer to this anywhere, and it seems crazy to expect people to pay for rent and food without any income at all.

FDM is a bad idea IMO. There's so many ways they'll screw you over, that I suggest you find something, anything else!

they're getting free labour, on a flimsy promise of a job..

I'd suggest to read following reviews before making a decision. I never heard of them so can't comment.

They didn't use to provide housing so I assume they still don't. They had host families but no idea what they were charging or still support them.


Just remember they are an IT body shop and will act like any other IT body shop.
