KBR Project Engineer reviews

Senior management can't keep enough work coming in to have a stable work force. They staff up in expectation of getting projects and lay off when the project work doesn't materialize.

- Was treated more like a grunt than a contributing member of the team - Heavily micromanaged - Was passed over multiple times for a promotion or change of work and instead the company hired new people - When I was given greater responsibilities, higher pay was off the table, nor was it given later, not even provisionally - Was not appreciated for consistently going above and beyond - Salary increases were sensitive to those of the customer - we were not allowed to have a higher % increase than our customer despite their total compensation being far higher - Our "cost of living" increases were far lower than the increases in the actual cost of living. - Essentially impossible to get merit raises - Low total compensation. The management expected that the work was fulfilling enough to overcome the lack of overall compensation. - Mentoring program was promised but never delivered. No career guidance - Tuition reimbursement was promised but it was minimal and had all kinds of strings attached
