KBR FAQ

Pros

Some great people to work with.

Cons

Continually changing; no bonus structure; low to no pay raise; completely removed vacation and PTO from all employees and removed 9/80 structure - typically worked 50+ hour weeks

Advice to Management

Change and listen to your people

Pros

KBR is expanding rapidly into new areas, is a highly professional environment and is committed to taking care of it's employees.

Cons

No free food, massages or other perks you'd find at mega-corps. But that's because we're focused on our work.

Pros

Employee fulltime benefits package is average

Cons

Employee layoff package is poor; no concern for layoff employees during COVID-19 period; did not offer any intra company transfers to save your job; Management is weak and unknowledgeable about markets future and is only out to make a quick, short term high profit with risk and numerous employee layoffs instead of a long term, steady profit with a strong workforce. Some laid off emps had 40 years experience with KBR

Advice to Management

Revert back to oil and gas industry works - mistake moving all your marbles to government/military/space and technology (alternative fuels/consulting)

Pros

It has great benefits such as 401k, health, dental, vision. It has a competitive salary (although it is a government contract position), and I really enjoy working here.

Cons

So far I have not had any negative interactions or things happen to me while at KBR. To be fair however, since I am a federal contractor I deal with KBR in a unique position compared to those working directly under KBR and not a federal government position.

Pros

Good work/life balance, family oriented company, good benefits

Cons

Nothing outstanding comes to mind.
