Pros

MBM is actually a good framework. Koch is a good place to get your career started and learn valuable business skills. The people are generally nice and willing to help you out.

Cons

The company has become more bureaucratic over the years with layers of management. If you're not senior management, it is very difficult to get recognized or rewarded. Management does everything they can to keep costs low and employees replaceable. Politics plays a strong role in who gets opportunities.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. At Koch, Market Based Management is at the core of what drives our corporate culture and I am glad to hear the positive feedback. Market Based Management also drives our compensation and management philosophy, which aims to reward individual employees competitively based on the value they create for the organization. Employees and others can read about our philosophy in detail in Good Profit, Charles Koch’s newest book.

Pros

Good insurance. The Atlanta office was more flexible with remote/hybrid work

Cons

The politics. People devalue teammates. Constantly changing direction so no meaningful impact can be made. Not a lot of diversity. If you don’t ask how someone’s kids are, you get complaints that you’re cold and difficult. Got there and a reorg killed the reason I was hired and was never provided with any sort of hope of growth opportunities.
