Jan 5, 2009 - Technical Professional Leader in Houston, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
KBR is a technology company and offers good professional satisfaction. They are one of the very few E & C companies that have several proprietary technologies to offer. Several of those technologies are industry leaders. Continued committment to own technologies has earned a good reputation among customers. They have well-defined work processes that have been perfected into execution techniques. These factors create a professionally satisfying work environment. KBR also enjoys a high level of customer satisfaction. Employees generally receive good respect from customers.
Cons
Located away from home. Several hours are lost each day in commuting to work. There are frequent changes in management, policies and priorities. This has resulted in a high turn over. There seems to be an erosion of the stature built up over several decades. Involvement in controversial contracts has tarnished the image of the company, as well as those working for them.
