Pros

Decent pay. Good time off and benefits.

Cons

As a recent graduate, I had high hopes for joining Fluor Canada, but my experience was overwhelmingly negative. My department manager was not only ineffective at training or mentoring new hires but also created a hostile work environment. Rather than fostering growth, the manager’s approach was dismissive, lacking in any constructive feedback, and often showed clear biases, which left many feeling alienated and unsupported. The office culture, particularly with the GAP (Graduates Advancing to Professionalism) program, was deeply disappointing. Instead of creating a space for new graduates to learn and grow together, the environment was filled with gossip, cliques, and unhealthy competition. Collaboration between team members was almost nonexistent, with individuals more focused on outperforming one another rather than working together towards common goals. The lack of guidance and a toxic atmosphere made it extremely challenging to develop professionally. While Fluor may have strong technical capabilities, its culture, especially in terms of how it treats new graduates, leaves much to be desired. I would strongly advise new graduates to look elsewhere if they value proper training, inclusivity, and a supportive work environment.

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.
