Pros

At the moment the books look good on Oil & Gas as no decent project wins, government division holding the bills at bay. KBR could now sell a 'live example' of how not to manage an Oil and Gas EPC company.

Cons

but the past big KBR earner of Oil & Gas in UK is finished - all that there is left - is a stagnant pool of managers, project engineers, managers, project engineers..........basically NO technical experience left to turn a decent project.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
