Application I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group. Interview Video Interview Very easy. Webapp displays question and gives 45 seconds to think of your answer (or read prepared answers to refresh your memory) and then it starts recording for one minute. Questions given below. Assessment Centre 1. Arrived 09:30. Day started with an hour introduction to company. During this first hour, instructed to ask person next to you a series of question to learn about them. Then after 5 minutes, you had to introduce the person to the rest of the group. 2. After this, there was a 30 minute maths test, which is 30 minutes long. Revise GCSE level maths (eg Long Multiplication / Division, simultaneous equations, operations on fractions, operations on powers, Pythagoras theorem). 3. Next, was 3 5 minute interviews with different people. The different interviews focused on different things such as FDM & IT industry, your university / degree and general business questions. 4. After this, was 1 hr lunch break. No lunch is provided, which is disappointing considering its a full day. I brought a packed lunch, but many others went to shops that are very close. 5. IT amplitude was next. Generally easy questions such as what does SQL mean but some coding logic questions with if else statements which require some thought. 6. Short tour of the building to stretch legs in between tests. 7. Last test of the day was Set notation and Venn diagram test. You are given a booklet explaining how to do the Venn diagrams, but much better to revise and become competent before the event. Only question that required much thought was working out the Cardinality of the set as it needed you to use an equation given in the booklet. Day finished at around 16:00 Salary for both years is £18,000 basic. For the 1st year you get £2p/hr bonus which comes to ~£21,000 pa and then in the 2nd year, you get £4.00/hr bonus, coming to ~£24,000 pa. You do not get paid for the 12-16 initial training period, but get a £20 travel expenses. Got offer of a place but declined due to low pay, unpaid training and 2 year commitment.
