Fluor does not bid on projects that may pose even a slight risk to the company; they are not competitively priced. In a down market work disappears as well as knowledgeable workforce base. Fluor relies solely on repeat customer business, but is slow to recognize changing customer conditions and finances. Does not actively seek or take a chance on cultivating new customers with future potential until it is too late. There are few programs to recognize and develop minority talent within the company.
