Pros

There are so many great things that I can say about Fluor that will not fit in this box, so I will provide highlights. The people at Fluor are amongst the best in the world (both technically and personally). The training at Fluor is also world-class, they have annual training requirements and those are monitored and discussed with managers. Mobility and career opportunities are very easily accessed at Fluor, I had several different geographic project locations and was promoted several times over a 7 year period of time. Great work-life balance is provided and safeguarded at Fluor - one safeguard is that overtime is compensated at straight-time pay (this at least requires managers to pay for overtime, which requires thought prior to assigning tasks that may put an employee beyond 40 hours).

Cons

For me, one of the major downsides to working at Fluor was the pay. I joined Fluor right out of the military, so I was not exceptionally aware of competitive market salary for my profession. I was easily recruited by another company, whose first offer to me was 50% more than what Fluor was paying, not including other benefits that made them more attractive than Fluor. That's the primary reason I checked the "Former" box above.

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.
