Good company, lots of layoffs - Recensione dipendente - Structural Designer presso Fluor

Very transparent, room to grow.

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
