Pros

This particular job is one of the coolest imaginable. Coworkers are great. Not attributable to KBR, as they are just a contractor at JSC. NASA is who generated the good work culture, not KBR.

Cons

Despite the speciality of my role (4 years of training to be useful and cannot shortcut that by hiring from competition), we are not monetarily valued accordingly. Despite bad attrition and people leaving 1-2 years after reaching the 4-year cert (terrible return on investment), KBR does little to incentivize staying around.

Pros

401k match up to 6%. Management is good. End of the year pay raises are usually above average inflation percentages.

Cons

Low salary for the work. Benefits overall are average. They are slowly doing away with hybrid work.
