Pros

When working on assignments, they take care of their employees, unless it's a government contract, which is all they can get at the moment.

Cons

If you work in the field, you lose chances for networking, especially when your career starts in the field. These people have little to no opportunity for all the special training others in the offices would receive, even though fluor makes it's money on these jobs.

Advice to Senior Management

There needs to be better integration of staffing needs, instead of having certain leaders plugged in to the leadership train, and if someone isn't working for that person, then they have no chances of advancement within the company. I started with the company ready and willing to do anything, with praise coming from people I worked with, only to have that disappear when it came time to progress my career.

Pros

I enjoyed the time I worked at Fluor. Provided me with projects that kept me challenged and always learning. The company provided lots of opportunities for training etc. Fluor so far has had the best benefits, vacation, and compensation package I have had. I am disappointed I no longer work for this caliber of a company and highly recommend working for them.

Cons

The Fluor Campus I was at was located in Sugar Land, TX (AKA Houston). I did not care for Houston much which lead to me leaving Fluor. Maybe, this is a plus to some just not at all for me.

Pros

Excellent opportunity for career development, stable working environment, regular performance evaluations and increases. Fluor offers excellent benefits as well as a significant nunber training courses.

Cons

Communication to employees could use some improvement. Work processes and practices could use a more thorough review to ensure alignment with other work processes.

- you will get good engineering design experience.

Advice to Senior Management

I advise them to increase the salaries for fresh engineers as well as giving them training program.
Also, they have to provide clear career path.

Pros

People are great
Downtown Vancouver office is great
Benefits are good

Cons

Office does not give the impression it cares about employees or their career development
Salaries are not determined fairly and are on the low end of the scale
Not properly recognizing employees that are contributing

Advice to Senior Management

Not always lowballing on salary or other things, such as office equipment, training, etc. - overall, it is beneficial to invest money in employees.

Pros

Most jobs have a 9/80 work week (every other Friday off).
Many projects, you're never board.
Company is slowly implementing full-time teleworking.
You accrue Time Off with Pay (TOwP) that's used for all time off. If you do not take allot of time off, you are able to take the TOwP as a payment when you leave / retire.

Cons

Jobs can change constantly.
You move your physical office many, many times. This is due to new projects, etc...
Health benefits could be better.

Advice to Senior Management

Management is very good considering the size of the company. Would like to see them create programs to validate direction with people at the worker level. Too many levels of management can create a disconnected environment for good business decisions

Pros

One of the best engineering firms to work for in the world. A lot of variety when it comes to the type and location of assignments.

Cons

A lot of different levels of management make it hard to get your point across to those that need to hear it the most.

Advice to Senior Management

Buy back some more shares and increase the dividend.
