Pros

People are great for the most part at KBR, really like working in the group that I am in. Pay is comparable to rest of industry, if not a little higher at times.

Cons

Upper management can't seem to develop a clear business strategy, many benefits were cut (including most of the PTO) with the downturn.

Pros

Great people, if they stop laying off everybody. Good benefits. 9/80 work schedule

Cons

Short sighted, non forward thinking management, cost-focus to appease shareholders while cutting development budget, personnel to keep the lights on, etc.

Bad time for those in the oil and gas sector

Pros

Good talented employees Laid-back work environment Good salary

Cons

The oil and gas business unit has suffered significantly as a result of a declining oil price and consequent lack of projects in that sector. Layoffs happen regardless of individual's talents or experience. The loss of talent will probably hurt the company on the long run.
