I worked on some projects that had KBR "consultants" also involved... in my experience, they added no value, worked slowly (missing almost every deadline) and just seemed to be a bunch of nicely dressed young MBAs who really had no hard skill sets to offer the clients we both worked for... but that's just me, and perhaps in other areas they actually know what they are doing... fwiw, the projects I worked on where they were involved were HW/SW systems to track shipping containers for Maersk -- such that they could find a specific container out of hundreds/thousands in a port or on a ship -- to my knowledge, they never finished (I was working on shipping oil and distillates)... when I was a direct hire at VRC, KBR sent a team in to re-organize us (something VRC tended to do every 9-12 months and nothing ever really changed) and after months, their "plan" was implemented for less than 3 months before Benny Reinhold, a member of VRC's founding family and largest shareholder and CEO when I was there pulled the plug on everything KBR implemented. Just saying... the only thing worse, IMO, than an MBA is an engineer with an MBA.
