Pros

KBR a massive company where you learn a lot about Engineering, mainly the latest technologies in the Oil&Gas industry. All projects are very interesting to solve and be part of. In addition, all projects are based in different countries and you will be required to work with their nationals too. You will face culturesall the time, including the American culture. Good team mates, nice enviornement and benefits!

Cons

Personal experience: Management is crap most of the times, they should be more tolerable and be able to lead people independetly instead of listening their superiors to do the job. HR department are a bunch of poshy girls

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
