      New Talents Neede Here!

      Pros

      Work/Life Balance. Pay is good and competive.

      Cons

      No accountability. Sr. Mgmt focuses more in reactive mode vs. proactive mode. Good talented people often leave the company because new ideas or changes are not welcomed. Most want to leave things status quo. It takes forever to make a decision. Very good at meeting , but horrible at executing "best practices".

      Pros

      They have a lot of knowledge base to learn. I am happy to have such a group of people that has such a kowledge that I can ask any thing any can get the answer.

      Cons

      The career development seems a little slow due to the poeple in the senior positions tend to stay long. A little slow in communications.

      Overseas Employment with KBR

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best reason is the compensation and the tax advantages of overseas pay, the ability to travel worldwide and learn about other countries. Working overseas with KBR or any other government contractor is a very challenging experience and not for the faint of heart. KBR is actually one of the more organized companies overseas and make good efforts at ensuring your paid ontime and have a decent benefits package. Other contractors largely leave the employee on their own to figure out things like passports, visas, payroll problems, etc. KBR takes care of its people.

      Cons

      Much of government contracting, especially in the middle east is ate up with lots of retired military types. These retired military types do not know how to manage people in a civilian environment and act as if they are still active duty. If you were prior military at one point in time, dont disclose your rank, because if you were lower rank than they were, they will treat you as a subordinate. Also, working overseas in the field, you have a great variation in the quality of the housing. It can range from living in tents to living in a furnished apartment. If your willing to live sparsely and simple, then you wont have a problem.
