      Pros

      Previous managers were great. Employee price matching 401k. Level 1 technicians will be trained to perform higher level tasks.

      Cons

      New manager is lazy and actively tried to make people quit. If you don't quit, he'll lie to HR and try to get them to fire you. I've seen and heard him stand and talk to other employees about an employee he's targeting. They just stand and talk for an hour straight. He did this to multiple people over the course of 9 months.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for your years of service with KBR. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with previous managers and appreciated the training opportunities and 401K program. We’re deeply concerned to hear about the management issues you described.

      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.
