Pros

KBR is a large corporation. If you want to work overseas, it's a good place to get there. The benefits are okay.

Cons

Because it is a large company, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. You have to fight for promotions and recognition for a job well done. The yearly increases in pay are pitiful and can be considered a personal insult if you have worked hard all year. The management has a hands-off approach and they don't seem to care at all. The Leadership is nil. Why do they bother at all? They don't lead. They sit in their gilded cages and sing the songs that the Government wants to hear.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
