I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FDM Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
Recruiter told me I'd be paid $9.50 an hour during training, as much as a fast food worker. Then after training was over, salary would be 44k a year. Then told me I had the potential to make 80-130k a year after a company hires me. Very sketchy. Was surprised they never tried to get me to seek knives to my friends and family at any point during the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you team player? Pretty much "will you be our paid slave"
simple 3 step but they will ghost you. once they have enough candidates, they dont care how good you have performed, so its good to avoid this as the pay is also below average, look for better jobs in the market
The entire process was pretty simple. Initially you will get an arctic shores assessment which tests your analytical and problem-solving skills. Post that, you will be scheduled for an initial screening call for 20 mins with your recruiter. You will be given a hackerrank test which includes coding+sql based on the role. If you have cleared the round,, you will be invited for a final interview with the account manager
I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Sydney) in Jun 2026
Interview
First is a hackerank. Which is then progressed through to a phone call telling us about FDM. After that is a video interview and if sucessful straight to the assessment centre.
