Pros

Fluor offers top pay. There are a lot of good people to work with.

Cons

Fluor is a big company and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. The company has a tendancy to hire people and put them in a cubicle and have them do nothing. Fluor does not care because the client gets billed for the time. Flour has a tendancy to overstaff the projects and work inefficiently so that they can bill more hours to the client. Anyone contemplating a job with Fluor has to keep in mind that there is a good chance that you will be placed in a cubicle with nothing to do so that your time can be billed to the customer. Management is distant from the people that work for them. They go our of their way to avoid interaction with the "worker bees". It is difficult to have a decent discussion with your supervising manager regarding the work you do and your future career.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
