Pros

Laid Back Culture Overseas assaignment Interesting Projects 9/80 Schedule Network with Contractors (Future Potential Employers)

Cons

Lack of Communication No career path or goal planned for young employees Buddy of the boss gets the promotion instead of competence and qualifications Try to keep you on projects overseas even after contract is completed or threaten you that you have not job Many incompetent managers - old management mentality in many middle management personnel. No Training- I have not been to a training class in 4 years. Pretty much have to learn from everday work No reward after long overseas assaginment Those closest to the managers in the office instead of people in the trenches get rewarded. Trains many young people for years, only to see them jump ship to competitors because of lack of career path or compensation

Occasionally, you can get caught up in the hype and forget your focus, and KBR can get you to where you want to go in the near future, if you remain disciplined and determined.
