Pros

Not many, now I need 3 more words to fill this section out.

Cons

Everything from dysfunctional teams, lack of leadership, delusional out of touch management, high staff turnover, little to no business planning, poor client relationship management, poorly scoped work and poor quality of deliverables, all led by the fearless overheads and a never ending list of internal protocols & forms. This is not a positive place to work for career driven professionals and those looking for any sort of job satisfaction. Some very institutionalised and toxic types work here making the work environment and culture appear off. Unqualified staff performing tasks out of their discipline area. Don’t be fooled or conned by the KBR absent work week (AWW) policy that they pride themselves on for standing out above the consulting industry as a work benefit.

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.
