Amec Foster Wheeler Employee Reviews about "no training"

Pros

Challenging work at times Good pay and excellent benefits Coworkers are usually helpful

Cons

No training or succession plan Work load fluctuates a lot Very billing driven meaning internal projects are low priority Not innovative Pressure to go to Arlington to Bruce sites. Almost half the company is at site. Employees on overhead tend to be those that can't do billable work

Pros

Good pay and benefits, closer to downtown.

Cons

Lack of Growth for employees, lack of Management Vision, Employees Skills under utilized, no training, Quality, Commercial, Finance and other non billable sections are considered burden.

Pros

- good pension - union - over time always available

Cons

- too stressful - ridiculous timelines - no training - no appreciation

Pros

Great people to work with. (non-management). The location was good. The overall environment in the office was laid back.

Cons

No training structure at all. Management was behind the curve on the project and was playing catch-up constantly. Upper Management was very arrogant and would not listen to ideas that were not his own. "This is the way we have always done things" trumped everything, even the correct way to do something. Management wanted "yes" men to absorb their many mistakes instead of listening to anything that contradicted their thoughts.

Pros

At least within the UK there has been plenty of work to keep busy. In fact almost too much work. Great ethos on work-life balance.

Cons

Outdated computer systems, IT is poorly managed with a direction to outsource as much as possible. No strategy to give staff usable computer hardware. No training for staff, talent not retained and poor staff continue on. Salary and benefits are some of the worst at a local level.

Pros

Good Facilities, WiFi, Many talented professionals,

Cons

Ages to set up a desktop, arrange profiles etc, constant movement around offices in order to get in groups for specific projects, management doesn't share their views, plans, decisions, constant rumours about the future. Peoples are just numbers, feel always insecure. No training provided.

Pros

-Flex work schedule -Relatively laid back environment

Cons

-Company has difficulty executing contracts as viewed by customers -No structure for policies or chain of command within company -No internal development of talent -Little to no training -Pay grades and process for advancement no communicated to employees

Pros

Location is good. Some really good employees!

Cons

Lazy and useless employees get away with murder and get paid better than the good people, middle management is so poor everyone wants to leave, managers coasting to retirement, no progression, stuck in a dead end job, no training, no payrise, no positivity, no thank you's, no motivation....just same thing day after day but each day somehow gets more frustrating and pathetic.

Pros

It used to be good place to work but after the Oil bubble went bust, its taken a steep turn down hill.

Cons

No pay rises for past 2+ yrs, no training or development path. No they are looking to cut payment and allowances for working away to unworkable levels. Time to leave as when more staff leave and AMECFW cant deliver to the client on time, they will loose repeat orders.

Pros

Flexible Work Hours.

Cons

Very little professionalism. The company is badly organized and the Company leaders lack alot of management qualities. No training is provided, so it's better to start with some experience. No opportunities for promotion.
