      Stifling Bureaucracy and Internally Focused

      Pros

      Has the potential to become a great company. KBR has a strong code of ethics, but then I guess most other companies of this size have to as well.

      Cons

      Very internally focused with stifling bureaucracy and opaque processes. “Innovation” is almost a dirty word. KBR’s culture often reminds me about the “Yes Minister” episode about an award winning hospital without any patients – KBR would be much more efficient without those pesky projects. I continue to hear glib “people are our greatest asset” statements from senior management yet there hasn’t been a salary review for three years in this region. No active career development programmes in my 10+ years even though we promise this in job advertisements. Expect to work very long hours and have your heath decline through inadequate sleep.

      Pros

      The Department Support Staff was Great

      Cons

      Top Management created problems in Sourcing and preapproved suppliers. There was no transparency in informing staff of problems and extending timelines. More Time spent on Firer Fighting. To mant Friends and Family working in Departments.
