Pros

Great company at the time. They put me through supervisor classes and first aid class. They seem to be be true to their name and always promised you the very best.

Cons

They laid me off in February 2016. Basically the end. Everything the management said was a huge lie............................... I worked my butt off and worked every hour they asked. I left on good conditions and was the last start up and commissioning member their besides my manager. It is unthinkable sometimes to think that a company can just toss you aside and treat you as a bag of trash, but ultimately all they have to do is forget about you and hire an illegal immigrant or hire someone local. It is truly a shame that company's like kbr can continue to get away with this. But as they always say, money is everything.

Pros

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.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
