I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Londen, Engeland) in Aug 2016
Interview
Send the CV and received a call two days after. I was then selected for a video interview and finally for an assessment day in London. The assessment day consisted of a presentation given by FDM, 3 different psychometric tests, 3 face to face interviews that lasted 5 minutes each and an office tour

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Londen, Engeland) in May 2014
Interview
Uploaded my CV on their website and was contacted 5 minutes later to arrange a phone interview. I expected the phone interview to be a proper interview and so arranged it for the week after so that I could prepare. It turned out to be a very easy interview asking basic questions like why FDM? why IT?
Went to the assessment centre few weeks after that. Nice office, friendly people, they're not trying to catch you out or anything. Did an insanely easy Maths test, an aptitude test which had both easy and hard questions, and a set venn diagram test. Also had three 5 minute interviews. Questions: Why did you choose this degree? Would you choose it again knowing what you know now? What is your project on? What are you most proud of in your life? Why FDM? Would you be willing to train in another language if client demand meant we couldn't get you a placement in your area of interest? What does success look like? Would you compromise the quality of your work if you had a deadline? How do you get to know your colleagues?
(nothing out of the ordinary)
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
This question came up in the set venn diagram test. Out of 120 students, those with ID's that are even numbers are doing Physics, and all with ID's divisible by 5 are doing Chemistry, and all with ID's divisible by 7 are doing Maths. How many are doing Physics AND Maths? How many are doing Maths and Chemistry? How many are doing neither subject? etc..

Interview
I first heard about FDM via email. I applied and on same day heard back from them, saying I should call them back to arrange telephone interview.
Telephone interview - was not too long, relatively easy questions. Passed.
Programmer aptitude test - this is not assessed. It consists of three parts. Maximum time limit of 65 mins.
Assessment centre - introduction to FDM by one of the senior staff. Followed by a video giving more information and a talk about the contract. Afterwards there were 3, 5 minute interviews. Then a test on Venn Diagrams followed by Lunch, you can go out for Lunch and have to return by 1. After Lunch there is a tour of the office, you see where the sales, recruitment and HR team work. After this there is a test which tests both your logical reasoning and general IT knowledge, lasts an hour. The third and last test is based on maths, lasts half an hour.
If you want to pass the tests practice some programming and also online logical reasoning tests.
