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

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.
