      An Eye Opener

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Chance to see the full Project execution cycle - Opportunity to learn from experienced engineers - Chance to work on the plant site if opportunity available - Chance to gain the experience required to become a Chartered Engineer - Experience working with leading clients to understand their unique perspectives

      Cons

      Over 20 years experience working for various oil & gas companies such as Bectel, Technip, Petrofac, BP, Shell. Never came across the following which I unfortunately did in KBR (UK office): - Cronyism - Racism - brushed under the table (the reason I tendered my resignation) - A culture of blame - Unfriendly staff - Stagnant managerial mindset - Hard workers unappreciated - sly opportunists rewarded - Managerial ego allowed to compromise team success - An extremely political workplace - The company lied regarding salary and renumeration

      Good company in the past

      Senior procurement specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They used to look after you well

      Cons

      Oil price crash combined with not winning any projects for London for about 7 years has put the squeeze on the company. Cancelled christmas parties, laying off staff in the most inhumane ways imaginable. Procurement in particular is being run by poor quality people. A palpable cloud of doom and gloom hovers over the office environment, and everyone is looking over their shoulders, waiting to be hauled into a little room and made redundant.

      Don't waste your time in HR

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gain some valuable global experience

      Cons

      Do not apply if you're going to be on the compensation team. Turnover was 150% last year and is already the same this year. That should say enough about management. When your vendors are noticing your turnover and constantly having to retrain a new team, that is a problem. Pro would be the 9/80 schedule and free parking but word on the street is that both of those are about to be taken away.
