Pros

Fair pay in comparison to competitors Tuition Reimbursement program Benefits package is OK Human Resources Department is easy to communicate with.

Cons

Career Development is non-existent for Exempt Salaried Employees. Annual Performance Assessments are conducted with minimal management effort. Retirees won't learn new technologies and treat the younger workforce bad. Retirees work very inefficiently and cause work flow to be slow. Very expensive company (overhead) which causes FLUOR to be too expensive so they don't win bids. Most work is overseas now. Pay increases are very minimal. Promote from the "Good-ol-Boy" crew methodology. If you have a relative or close friend higher up they will promote that person instead of the more qualified individual. Management seems very unorganized.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
