Pros

Old KBR was great! Good work, life, balance, nice perks, and great morale.

Cons

Company sold off government services division and things are very dicey right now. Employees that seem to be highly regarded were let go. Contracts that said we were 100% remote are being changed and we are now going back to the office hybrid. There’s a lot of closed door meetings between senior leadership and the gossip Grapevine is going wild. Not sure how much longer I’ll be here, lots of layoffs going on.
