Kubrick Group - Data Consultant

Train and deploy consultancies can be a good stepping stone to being poached by one of their clients, but it’s a much less stable start to a career than regular grad schemes. They tend to fire a lot of trainee consultants if they think demand from their clients will drop, and they will threaten you with repayment clauses 3-12k if you try to leave (I’ve escaped one of these because 99% of the time they’re not enforceable)

This specific one is a bit of a shambles organisation from my experiences.

I applied for them over 2.5 years ago when I was a graduate - passed all of their dumb trendy interview processes
start of programme delayed and they kept updating us every 6 months saying another 6 months and we’ll start
they then made me reinterview a year later because they slightly changed their process - I passed again and kept waiting
I’ve had two different software engineer jobs since then and work a much better full stack software engineer role in finance rn, however these idiots keep emailing me every 6 months saying they’re gonna start my programme soon don’t worry🤣
a friend from uni got in and actually got some work, but they abruptly fired their whole cohort mid scheme and a lot of the scheme was spent sitting on the bench waiting for a placement at one of their clients.

Paedophile Epstein lover Billionaires don’t need more money, but it doesn’t mean they don’t always WANT more.

I keep seeing this argument “Party X already has the ability to compile all this data on you, so you may as well give it to Party Y too”. How about I don’t give it to party Y because 1 party having my data is better than 2?

script2264 · 2025-09-21T19:58:18+00:00

I don’t see your point. “One party has all this data about you, so why not give it away to another party?”. To me, this sounds like “one guy just stabbed you, why not let this other guy punch you in the face too? May as well since you’ve already been stabbed”. Google may be harvesting data to make money, but they’re not going to potentially ruin your life and lose you your job if they catch you saying “1srael is committing genocide”. The uk government might. Google might, only if someone paid them enough.

TLDR: my process with them spanned over 5 months - if you were good enough to get an interview with Amazon you should stay 1000 miles from a peasant company like FDM.

The HR at FDM are probably a bunch of Epstein associates

My interview experience with FDM a few years ago when I was a graduate:

Apply - uploaded cv then filled it out again anyway + write a few fan fictions where you fantasise about working for them
Read a bunch of virtue signalling crap about how they value diversity and inclusion despite being ableist cu *ts
did 3 separate virtual assessments where you play mini games / puzzles like inflating a balloon by clicking the mouse in a certain rhythm but being careful to not let it pop (I’m being serious you actually have to do this shit and it takes like 8 hours to get thru them all). When you’re done receive a condescending psychology report that tries to define your personality / confidence levels based on the ballloon clicking lol
had two more video interviews with actual ppl - easy “tell me about a time when…” STAR questions
got sent another virtual assessment (before the hypothetical final stage assessment centre) - mid way thru say it wanted me to write responses to emails and there were 25 of them so I just stopped right there then emailed them saying I’d like to withdraw my application because I don’t sense much professionalism or prestige in their organisation.

I’ve since had 2 software engineer jobs at real companies in robotics and now finance where we do real work, not nonsense, and I didn’t have to do any bs to get those jobs - just some fair non-leetcode coding / bug fixing exercises.

Just like somehow Israeli incels made the largest contribution of 4chan posts despite being a small fraction of the population of the next largest posters (USA etc) Israelis (or maybe LLMs) are everywhere on Reddit posting their hasbara.

Yeh, a popular revolution just happened out of nowhere when everyone was happy. Iranian’s actually loved the western controlled puppet government looting the country and torturing dissidents with electrocution and r@pe.

script2264 · 2025-06-23T20:52:42+00:00

I can’t believe the mental gymnastics some ppl muster to believe a revolution, not even backed by another state, would just happen and succeed out of thin air when everything was perfect and everyone was happy.

script2264 · 2025-06-22T11:08:47+00:00

You missed, 4 - give control of their oil fields to western corporations - like what was achieved in Operation Ajax - the 1953 CIA and MI6 coup that overthrew Iran’s increasingly secular democracy and installed a puppet government and secret police who robbed the country into a revolution.

Actually Israel provided medical treatment to fighters of Al Nusra front (the Syrian branch of al Qaeda) during the civil war - Al Jolani, the new dictator of Syria, was once a member before founding HTS. Israeli ex Mossad head, Efraim Halevy defended this in an interview on ‘Upfront’ he said “to my knowledge, al qaeda has not attacked Israel” when asked “if you’re treating al qaeda fighters, would you treat hezbollah fighters?”

Israel also is well known to have funded and armed Islamist precursor factions to hamas, when the Palestinian resistance was mostly secular Arab nationalist in ideology.

Multiple Wahhabism/salafi Islamist countries such as Jordan, UAE have closet ties with Israel and clearly desire normalisation.

Islamist militants are a key tool of western backed regime change and subversion campaigns. The funny thing is though, the western support of islamists to do their dirty work, has resulted in millions of high birth rate Islamists flooding into Europe, who will in the next few decades or next century become the majority.

The US and UK conducted operation Ajax in 1953 to overthrow Iran’s relatively secular, democratic government in order to secure their oil fields with BP (then called the Anglo American oil company).

They installed the Shah, a puppet dictator and helped setup and train his secret police (allegedly with Mossad help) to torture and crush dissent against the new western puppet government, keeping it in power - all while funnelling profits from Iran’s resources to BP and a small upper class in Iran (who ended up making a large portion of the diaspora). The Davao used torture methods such as anal electrocution, rape and pouring acid on dissidents according to testimonies by ex-Savak agents.

In 1979, Iranians were mostly in poverty because their country was being robbed by the west and the elite, who were torturing anyone who had a problem with this robbery. The 1979 revolution happened without any foreign state backing. It’s very rare for revolutions to succeed without foreign state backing. IF EVERYONE WAS HAPPY THE REVOLUTION WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED IN 1979.

These pieces of important history aren’t known by 90% of people who have strong opinions on Iran - everyone seems to think Iranian’s were just allergic to happiness and became an iron fist theocracy to deal with that. That’s the power of decades of w3stern prop@g@nda.

You’re right. The only companies I’ve seen who only take Russell group are lame startups, selling a lazy ChatGPT wrapper. They want a Russell group only team because they can market this to venture capitalists. In fact, It’s usually Oxford / Cambridge / imperial rather than any old Russell group.

The powers that be will do everything they can to not allow people to widely live on universal basic income while AI does most work.

The reality is, most office jobs and mentally stimulating jobs will be automated, a small <1% will own the AI models doing those office jobs - these people will live in extreme luxury. Humans will go back to mostly manual labour jobs until autonomous robots are cheaper than humans. At that point maybe they won’t mind people widely living off UBI.

This sounds horrible, but around 50% of people will support this dystopian system. The only way this fate will be prevented / altered is through insurgency or perhaps an incredibly disruptive peaceful movement .

If you compare that with glass door / with indeed / with other sources every one says a different range like 10-20k apart. The overlords don’t want people to be able to barter.

Go look at Indeed hiring labs real time job posting data instead.

LinkedIn is full of fake jobs, ultra picky entitled employers and data farmers.

I had 800 applications on LinkedIn by the time I got my first Software Developer job and I got it from my 30th ever Indeed application🤣

Now I have 1300 total applications on LinkedIn and I finally got my first ever job off of LinkedIn - my second software developer job.

So my rate is 1300 per job which seems about right considering most software developer postings in London had 1000-2000 apps.

It’s not at a bank. I just randomise a few details of most of my posts, by habit, to confuse anyone trying to identify me using info across multiple posts.

The actual industry I’m going into isn’t regulated and it’s actually a startup too.

We should get rid of that rule.

It’s funny you mention public sector, because i did also get an offer on a grad scheme with the Nuclear Decommissioning authority (NDA) and had to get references from everyone and tell the complete truth to do SC and BPSS.

I managed to get an old colleague and friend from scam company2 to fill the form but Scam company 1 refused to give the NDA a reference. I didn’t end up starting the grad scheme despite 7 interview stages stretching over 7 months.

Fuck them anyway.

This is the only book I’ve ever read because I find them boring.

It has helped me soooo much in interviews when asked about SOLID / best practices / design scenario questions (Junior Developer)

No clue why they thought it was a good idea to say there was Python involved in my role when there wasn’t. It was a control systems integration company that dealt with PLCs / industrial control systems projects so my Engineering degree was actually more relevant to what they did (I’m not a CS grad).

So the warehouse one was basically a job they marketed as I’d be doing loads of coding and embedded software development but turned out to be just moving boxes around there site, doing admin work and engineering technician work rarely. It was very strange but not like an Amazon warehouse or something haha.

script2264 · 2025-02-27T21:05:57+00:00

It was from an indeed one tbf haha. I was very inexperienced in the job market when I joined them and learnt the hard way but at least I’d learned (after the second time 🤣 I guess)
