Pros

Salary credited on time, that’s the only positive. Nothing else worth mentioning.

Cons

This company looks fancy on paper, but inside it’s a circus of politics, favoritism, and fake culture. 1. Leadership = Incompetence + Politics Senior leaders are brought in from failed service companies. They lack skill, hide behind “PBM” slogans, and push personal favorites instead of rewarding merit. If you’re talented, you’re a threat—expect to be sidelined or fired. 2. HR = Puppet Show HR has no backbone. Their job is not to support employees but to execute leadership’s dirty work. They’ll fire people overnight with laughable excuses like “medical emergency.” Job security doesn’t exist here. 3. Work Culture = Fake PBM They keep chanting “Principle Based Management” like a mantra, but in reality, it’s politics, gossip, and favoritism. Hard work means nothing. Survival depends on bootlicking and being in the “good books.” 4. Employee Treatment = Disposable In one year, they kicked out more than 80+ employees. Instead of addressing issues, they force people to quit by denying WFH, manipulating leaves, or isolating them. 5. Growth & Compensation = False Promises Salary hikes are pathetic and uneven. You’ll only get a revision if you escalate or threaten to quit. Otherwise, you’re ignored while new hires are paid more than existing loyal employees. 6. Hiring Process = Trap Interviews are a joke—dragged on for weeks, full of fake promises, and HR ghosting. They lure you with sweet talk, but the reality after joining is the complete opposite.

Pros

- Great coworkers (Some of the hardest working people and knowledgeable people I've ever met. Great talent and character.) - Competitive Pay (You will be rewarded if you demonstrate excellence in your job role.) - Good company value system (MBM/PBM) - how we interact with each other on a daily basis. -Strong market position/market leader/competitive products. -Very clear expectations for the role.

Cons

Each division within the company doesn't quite apply PBM equally or as strongly. I can say that the current division I work for applies PBM very strongly to the team and as such, it shows in that division's performance. I have worked for two divisions at Koch.
