Pros

good pay, good experience and good culture. Good opportunities to take on challenging tasks and grow. Get to work the 9/80 schedule that offers good work-life balance. Company is a leader in the industry, get good experience working on big time projects

Cons

The industry is cyclical and as such during downturns extensive lay-offs are common across industry. Fluor in particular has the reputation of larger than normal layoffs compared to peers.

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.
