      Financially rewarding... Professionally challenged company

      Pros

      Expat packages are great for salary and vacation packages. Global presence and opportunities to travel or relocate abroad to other countries.

      Cons

      Management is challenged working in government contracting. Management follows a good old boy system of hiring and promotion practices. Personnel in the field may lack sense of professionalism.

      Good place to start; not a great place to advance

      Pros

      Work-life balance. KBR promotes a solid work-life balance with little overtime and the incorporation of the 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off).

      Cons

      Behind the times. I left KBR in early 2011 and they were still using Microsoft 2003 for everything. In addition, many KBR employees have been with the company for 30+ years. The age gap can be difficult to navigate and few seasoned veterans are willing to impart their knowledge to the "youngsters".

      Great people to work with, but stuck in the old ways doing things.

      Pros

      The character and quality of my colleagues were top notch. High level of integrity and sincere appreciation for work well done.

      Cons

      I got bored easily and never felt that I was doing all that could be done (restricted by the system). Saw no opportunities for career growth and advancement.
