KBR Acquisition Ruined a Great Company

Pros

Some of the long time line managers will fight the losing fight for the employees with how upper management is treating everyone.

Cons

Leadership: The KBR acquisition showed much of the upper management's true colors. Everyone is looking out for themselves and no one is looking out for the workers that actually run the place day in and day out. I left very early in the integration and I count my blessings daily. Pretty much my entire team has left since. HR leadership is abysmal at turns being cruel, uncommunicative, and cut throat. The people leading now have no idea how to run things and have little empathy for employees.

Pros

Decent compensation and benefits. Some executives willing to listen and act to help junior employees. Coworkers were very nice overall.

Cons

Forced people to work in a remote site without proper accommodation. I was told by a manager “Houston is dangerous too. You may get killed in a car accident driving back home today.” after I expressed my concerns about safety going to that site as a female. I can still remember one manager told me “I’m not ready for you to say no” when I reinstated I don’t want to go there. Another manager has forced the team to travel during a tornado because she wanted to be home early. Didn’t happen as the flights were all cancelled, but she risked the team’s safety to drive to airport when the locals were taking shelters.
