KBR Employer Reviews

My Review would be to Biased , as as far personel Expats that working for company medium to poor ,quality. This depends greatly on area group working with, In Europe local national workers due good to excellent ,The expat or -management self centered and scared for own jobs would cut anyones throat . KBR thru poor bidding bought last contract which – more...  in turn was at employees expense . Even So charge top dollar for poor equipment then hide behind regulations and inflated costs , Management have tendancies to blame local nationals for anything that goes wrong . they the upper management just made to many mistakes and relieing on change orders and equipment breakdowns the Army personel incharge of overseeing these contracts are aware of – less

12 hour/7 day work weeks.Always something new in combat setting. Management o.k. co-workers come and go. Bunker time/ r/r.

Long days, long hours, very good pay. If you have the experience, can stand extreme temperatures, and potentially no days off for months, this job is great. I spent most of my time in a paper mill, incredibly hot, loud, and smelly, but I loved the money. My coworkers were great to get along with if you did your job right.

Every position held within KBR was a wonderful experience. It was a pleasure working for this company.

DIfficult to advance in my career.
Difficult to receive recognition.

They hire alot friends, friends of friends and family of their employees. Not necessarily based on their qualifications. My electrical team was not part of this. I had a great team, as electrical is an advanced skill. The employees working in support positions have a "use KBR" mentality and it shows in the performance and productivity. They do not fire – more...  their friends and family and becomes a vicious cycle. The upper level management does not care about employees. It is a negative atmosphere. The employee turn around rate is astonishing. As the intelligent and highly qualified personel move on KBR tends to quickly fill the gap with any "boots on the ground" and the progression is set back. I did make excellent pay but it was "danger pay" and during those days in Iraq it was extremely difficult within the center of the war in Baghdad. There is a lot of waste within the company as they just did not have the qualified people monitoring this. This is one reason KBR has such a bad reputation within the overseas contracting world. OVERALL- It is not a company you would wish to work long term. It is a get in, make your money and then get out atmosphere and if you are like me wanting to acocomplish success you will find challenges that start at the poor upper level and trickle down through. – less

To utilize 12 years of experience in logistics warehousing operations, inventory management, material handling and customer relations and support for a company that provides contracted logistics warehousing support overseas.

I worked 12 hour shifts. The best part of my day was being able to work with so many different types of people.

Working for KBR and the Military as exciting and very useful to my overall work experience. It was very diverse and far exceeded my expectations and goals. Meeting & working with people from different parts of the world was the greatest

I have been over here for eight years and the contract is coming to an end. It has been hard to 7 days a week 12 hrs a day. But the hardest part has been since we have started having trouble with Multi Entry/exit Visa's. Many of us have not been able to go on R&R for a year.
I have met some of the best drivers in the world here we had to be to survie, – more...  safety was not a choice when we went out of the wire we were ready for what ever came our way. – less

The company offers constant training to update the personnel's capability to cope up with the demands, but jealousy among races kills competition getting to the top. It is a challenge getting close to the people who are in power to overlook where you from and get promoted, but never it happened there. The only thing you can be thankful about is somehow – more...  there are some who cares even they cannot do anything. – less

I have worked with Brown and Root in the past on several different occasions. They have always done me right before and they are a very good company to work for still. There are a few things that need to be adressed with HR and payroll.

Working for this company as a contractor for more than three years has been great for me; although I didn't have benefits. The most enjoyable about the company is being able to work flexible hours. What I least like about the job, as a contractor, the projects can end at any time and suddenly you're forced to start all over seeking new projects. Overall, – more...  a great place to gain experiences... – less

There are no typical days.Everyday is a NEW challenge.I have learned, that no matter what the sitituation,there is always an answer.Management--Well Versed.I have always worked as "A Team".There is never "ONE".We all work "TOGETHER".The job,is only as "HARD",as one makes it.The most enjoyable part of the job,is working with Excellent Leadership.
