Pros
-There is a global employee perspectives survey annually. -Because KBR is a smaller company access to management is simple, all levels of management are available and accessible in the system.
Cons
In my opinion only and based on my experience working for KBR, I have observed a distinct absence of opportunities for professional mobility within the organization. I feel like we have lost dozens of highly capable, very educated, and technically skilled employees because they were not allowed to advance into another position at KBR. Also, KBR appears to predominantly hire professionals who have prior experience with the specific contractors in predefined roles. It does not seem to matter if the professional was successful with the contractor previously (simplified basically hiring an employee that was fired or laid off for legit cause only because they had a specific company on their resume). I feel that this limits the diversity of perspectives and skillsets, and possibly pushes the ages of employees to only later career professionals. Lastly, I have noticed a consistent issue of underpayment for SOME employees, which raises concerns. It is important to highlight these observations as areas for improvement within the company. Constructive feedback is crucial for fostering a positive work environment and encouraging an inclusive approach to talent acquisition and compensation.
