I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Manchester, England) in Feb 2013
Interview
Interviewed in February, straight forward interview, after a day got accepted, however the first call about the training was in March, offered to start a different stream training. Agreed to do it, but a week before the start date got a phone call that it has been cancelled, got offered to change stream AGAIN! Decided not to change it, and another start date for the course was mid July.
Be aware that the contract is 2 years and you have to be fully flexible + you don't get paid before you are placed with a client, which can take ages. Your salary that is advertised 22k or something is actually 18k + £2 per hour Bonus payment, and if you work 40h per week then you will get the 21-22k equivalent. Your holiday pay will only be calculated on the 18k base salary. Try living on this wage in London!
I applied online, then had 2 phone interviews, 1 online assessment, and 2 Skype interviews. Online assessment was not hard, just need to know how to read simple pseudocode and flow charts. One of the skype interview was technical interview and the other one was a behavioral (strengths) interview.
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FDM Group (Richmond, VA) in Sept 2017
Interview
FDM was recruiting on campus at my university and they caught my eye so I started the interview process with them. I had a preliminary phone call, a video interview (where I recorded myself answering questions given to me through prerecorded videos), an online assessment, two phone interviews (one behavorial, one technical) and one Skype interview. The interview process became very disorganized once the phone interviews began. I was supposed to have a phone interview and a technical Skype interview back to back. However, the phone interviewer had no idea that I had a Skype interview after and told me that only a phone interview had been scheduled for me before asking me interview questions. The phone interview went over time and the Skype interviewer did not know that I was in another interview so they could not reach me. I ended up having a second phone interview to make up for the initial Skype interview I missed, and then a final round Skype Interview.
I applied through university. I interviewed at FDM Group
Interview
Very easy, first phone call was with recruiter to go over resume, then take math, pseudo code, and writing test, second an interview with an Academy trainer, asked similar questions to the first phone call. Last was an interview with a Account manager, asked similar questions but they are more interested that you can communicate well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
