      Pros

      Large company, mobility to various projects on different continents, possibility for advancement, decent relocation packages, resume builder, work on iconic projects

      Cons

      Work hours are brutal and many times you're pay is capped at 40 to 60 hours. Depending upon the group you're in, you may not be able to take your paid vacation, loopholes in host country regulations are used to not properly pay overtime or end of service

      Pros

      KBR a massive company where you learn a lot about Engineering, mainly the latest technologies in the Oil&Gas industry. All projects are very interesting to solve and be part of. In addition, all projects are based in different countries and you will be required to work with their nationals too. You will face culturesall the time, including the American culture. Good team mates, nice enviornement and benefits!

      Cons

      Personal experience: Management is crap most of the times, they should be more tolerable and be able to lead people independetly instead of listening their superiors to do the job. HR department are a bunch of poshy girls
