FDM Group interview questions

Phone Interview was 10~15 minutes Passed this, then you move onto the next stage which is an assessment. Assessment took most of the day 9-3 with lunch provided Consists of 3 exams: Aptitude Test (Mostly Coding/Logic Questions) - 60 mins High School level Math Test - 20 mins Set/Venn Diagram Questions - 60 mins Consists of 3 Individual Interviews with Account Managers (People that place you at work sites after training) - 2 General/1 Technical ~ 5-10 minutes each My thoughts: Phone interview was mostly HR explaining about the company, the 2 year commitment and ability to relocate. It was easy as long as you do some research about their company and know why you want to go into that field. Assessment day was long mostly because of the back to back tests they give you. Lunch was provided (soda/subway sandwiches/chips) after the exams were over. The math exam was easy if you know how to multiply 6546*7 then you're good to go. Some square root/square, and a Pythagorean Theorem question (find the 3rd side given one side and the hypotenuse). The aptitude test may be challenging if you don't know much coding, but they provide examples to cater to non-coders for them to understand the syntax. Some basic while loop questions, and you need to give the output. Set/Venn Diagram test was one of the longer exams, learn how to do it beforehand from youtube or something. However, they do give you a booklet containing examples to help you understand this part of the exam. After exams and lunch you wait in the classroom with the other candidates to be called for the interviews.

I was called by a recruiter about the graduate training process. After an initial phone call and chat about the programme I was asked to complete a video interview. After passing the video interview, which was recorded rather than through Skype, I was invited to an Assessment day in the Glasgow office. The assessment day consisted of 3, 5 minute interview which were very relaxed; a 30 minute maths test (basic GCSE maths, used Bitesize for revision); a 1 hour aptitude test; and a 1 hour Venn Diagram test (which was pretty straight forward). The interviews were very relaxed. It was more of a chat than a formal interview.
