FDM Group, Entry-level Business Analyst

It's funny. I ran into a scam company again. This is a totally different type of scam. The company is called FDM Group. It has a program which provides candidates 8 weeks to 12 weeks training. The interviewer said it would be about SQL. To get into the program, you need to go through the introduction session, logic test and a 1:1 interviewer. After the training, you are guaranteed to work in some blue-chip companies for 2 years. Blue-chip companies include HSBC, UBS, CITIGROUP, etc. The interviewer Liz asked me whether I want to relocate to Hongkong or London and whether I speak Cantonese and Mandarin, which made me desire this position. I thought it was a very good chance to get back to Hongkong with a nice job in HSBC. Liz sent me an interview confirmation email, asking me to go for an interview next Tuesday. I then started to search this company online. It turns out to be a scam! WTF! People said the contract tied you into a 2-year contract before you start your training. If you quit the program, you have to pay the company $20,000. However, the company has right to kick you out without any reason anytime. Some people said the company didn't get them job related to programming. FDM forced them to accept jobs like calling IT support, and the salary is way below the market rate. FDM takes commission from your salary! Some people said the training is no good! Material is from internet. You can totally get it from internet by yourself.

I will still go for the interview, just to have some interview experience and take a very good at the contract. But, I won't sign the contract.
