Thank you for your feedback and for being part of the KBR team. We're glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with remote work. Flexibility is something we’re proud to offer where possible. We understand that the requirement for U.S. security clearance can be a limiting factor in defense contracting. While it's a necessary part of our work with government clients, we’re always looking for ways to provide meaningful opportunities across a range of skill sets and roles. Thank you again for your contributions in Lexington Park — we're glad to have you on board.

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.
