Pros

Good people, great culture in Sydney. Good management, caring culture.

American company controlled by Trump’s hatred. All diversity and inclusion programs cut. Some teams treated like slaves.

We're glad to hear that you've had a positive experience in our Sydney office. Like many companies in the U.S. some of KBR's programs were impacted in the wake of U.S. executive orders, but we've taken this opportunity to accelerate our focus on total inclusion. You can learn more about our All In program at KBR.com.

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

Excellent Work Life Balance, Good Salary and Benefits.

Cons

No incentives to succeed. Very few rewards, awards, and bonuses. Culture is not customer or team focused; Upper management do not respond to functional area issues and would rather unfairly correct behavior of complainers. Way too much focus on wokeness with controlled behavior and silly Zero Harm program.
