Pros

Fluor is a great place to work, I have worked for other large corporations where upper management's incompetent and ineffective behavior is tolerated or rewarded but technical staff is crucified if they have been unable to read minds or forecast the future. Fluor management accepts that you can only make decisions using the information you have. At Fluor you are expected to work hard, do your best and learn from your and others mistakes, but there are no career damaging repercussions when things don't t always go perfectly as planned. In short they accept that we are all human.

Cons

Even if you approach your manager they may not provide guidance on career path, even if you share your interests and strengths. There seems no desire to develop long term career growth. For us 25+ year ppl who have been learning new technology since we worked with punch cards in the university in the 70's, many need to keep learning and growing and remaining a critical contributor to their organization. For the managers w/ 25+ years at Fluor there is a tendency to prefer to avoid creating any waves leaving competent staff in their positions.

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.
