KBR reviews

KBR (known as "Burn and Loot" in activist circles) was once a part of Halliburton and was involved with *many* scandals involving Iraq War contracting, Iraqi civilian deaths, and corruption during the Bush years. And before it was a part of Halliburton was involved with more military contracting corruption dating all the way back to Vietnam (yes this company unironically contracted out to Blackwater for security services). If I wasn't transferred over to this group during a federal contracting re-compete I wouldn't work for it as too many of its lines of business are simply moral hazards. I won't even touch its stock options plan for that reason (does stock inflation due to US wars in developing countries sound good to you?). The job I'm working at now doesn't involve this unethical stuff, but KBR is probably the closest thing to Weyland-Yutani (evil corporation in the "Alien" movies) that you can get in real life. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the individual job I'm working at right now (as I'm helping build a public service) but KBR is like a parody of an evil megacorporation. Even DC politicians and the Pentagon can't stand them. But that's what you get when you have a federal contracting re-compete during the Trump years. And the sad/funny thing is that this military contracting juggernaut *STILL* has subpar HR software and services. Just silly.

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.
