Former Employee – worked at Foster Wheeler full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – 9/80 work schedule allowed for a good amount of time off. 3 weeks PTO for new hires. Good 401K and medical insurance programs. The building and furniture are above average.
Cons – Upper management likes to micro-manage and monitor its employees. They ask for opinions from their employees, but they don't seem to want to implement any change related to employee satisfaction. When the previous CEO left for another office, bonuses and incentives diminished or disappeared. It's pretty difficult to get recognized for your achievements or hard work at this company. It's also hard to advance in the company unless you are buddy-buddy with someone with power and influence in the company.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees, and try to trust them to be honest on their own.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
