Pros

KBR offers so many extra's that most companies do not. We receive transportation assistance with paid parking passes, public transit or carpool vans. The pay is pretty decent too! There are also several other perks offered with personal items.

Cons

There are times I wonder how some managers stay around due to being very vocal about their displeasure with tasks done or what not.

Cons

corporate absurdity with a dangerous disconnect between the manager's email and the constraints of reality. Your death would be an inconvienience, that's the only reason they pay for your travel on demobilization.
