Pros

9/80 Schedule, good benefits, casual working environment.

Cons

No notice of impending layoffs. When management decides to cut employees, HR discretely comes in with a stack of red folders with a list of employees on their hit list. Management asks to meet with you along with HR to advise your position is being terminated that day. I worked for KBR for over 14 years and that's what happened to me. Very sad, because it was a great company to work for until management decides you're no longer needed.

Pros

Benefits are very good and craftsmen are pretty good.

Cons

management has issues with communication and overall objectives. Project managers have to much direct control over managers. Managers have no one to go to about project managers.

Pros

Highly organized and process driven. They foster personal, career growth and provided both internal and external training. Pay grades are set in a range per job description and yearly performance reviews can boost your total compensation.

Cons

Wall Street drives corporate decision making, on a Quarterly earnings basis, and government contracts are cyclical so downsizing flows in line with cash flow and overhead spend budgets.
