FD are so stingy and spiteful, you won't be paid your last month's expenses when you eventually do quit - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) First Derivatives

- huge turnover, very few people stay beyond a few years, reason is obvious: FD underpay, and don't do enough to keep their more experienced staff who find better jobs elsewhere. - Note most of the positive reviews here are from employees who have recently joined, you are lead to believe that you are on the way to a substantial salary and proper respect after graduation. This is unfortunately not so, want proof? See what percentage of people stay beyond graduation, seems to be much less than 50%. - management's attitude comes across as very aggressive - the company is extremely stingy, all apartments are furnished with the bare minimum, e.g. in the budget list, if you are moving into an unfurnished room you are only allowed to buy a 100 pound mattress - you will likely be sent to a country without a visa, which after a few times could lead you to being blacklisted - CEO will likely swear at you, this intimidates a lot of new graduates (swearing is not limited to graduates however). - if you try and leave the company to a better job, the CEO seems to take pride in trying to sue you (for taking a job with a competitor or client), he even brings it up at the xmas party - when you resign, it is likely you will NOT be paid your last month's wage or expenses
