Fluor: anyone work for them?

[Grip172]

i got offered a job to start with FLUOR come this June. What are you guys thoughts or experiences with this company? I'd be a drafter 2. (civil/structural designer)

I got an offer from Fluor, the company is good but the money they are offering is about $5000 - $10,000 less then the average other offers I got, and plus two weeks vacation is a little slim.

Dont expect to get a lot of exposure to different things, they only bid on $10 Million + jobs so it takes years for 100 - 300 people to complete the job.

They are a good and stable company though, so its up to you, and what else you have coming down the pipe.

If it's fluor Daniel then i was doing tech supprt for them while back. Great company to work with and they know how to take care of their employees. Is it the one in Sunpark Plaza?

IMO

I would go for "Sigit Automation", firstly they pay middle pack and secondly you can move up in the ranks rather quickly with a small company. Lastly If you stick with them they will reward you better than a huge company will. (ex. Stocks, and raises/ bonuses)

MY 2 cents

Peace

thanks for your input, i already know which one I am taking, i was just posting my offers so RT16V had an idea.

To: Grip172 sorry for jacking your thread, but hopefully that shows you what is out there, don't pass it up if this is the only thing you have applied/gotta a response for.

It is up to you to decide, and the opinions I expressed are MY opinions, I have heard different from other people.

Also O&G experience will NEVER hurt you.

Awesome, thanks for the input brendankharris!!
And yeah, sorry to Grip for jacking the thread.

Ill give you a hint, it was between hydro and sigit. Both are good but I am a long term thinker.

yeah thanks for the input guys

my offer is rather "low" i guess but its not too shabby i think either. I just don't want to jump on my first interview/first job offer. I have thrown out a ton of resumes but haven't heard much back from the companies. I have until march 12th to decide. I will probably accept it so at least i have SOMETHING going for me!!
