      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Experience with multiple different systems and great customers. The company services several domestic and foreign companies. The culture represents respect from all employees.

      Cons

      Company is down sizing and considering outsourcing much of its work. The company focus has gone largely to meet the bottom dollar.

      Thank you for your feedback! We agree, we work with great customers and we also appreciate your comment on a respectful work environment, that is something we are very proud of. An environment where everyone challenges the status quo and innovates, but does it in a respectful manner. The vision at Koch has remained consistent, to create value for society and to do so utilizing resources most efficiently. We apply our MBM business philosophy to innovate, improve, and transform ourselves to create greater value for our customers and greater fulfillment for employees. As our Chairman & CEO recently stated, with the rapidly changing nature of business through technology advancement, “virtually everyone’s role will change.” As a part of this change we have to ensure employees fully embrace emerging technology and practice all of our guiding principles, especially change, principled entrepreneurship, and value creation.

      Pros

      Newer technicians will be able to learn new technologies You are able to learn while working if you have the drive You will be able to travel occasionally for projects.

      Cons

      Too much change in a short period of time, I had 3 managers in less than 1 year. No diversity or cultural diversity (if you don't use MBM buzz words or Jargon, you suddenly become unprofessional) Not allowed to challenge the status-quo or you appear to be a renegade. Pay is considerably low when comparing to the market and despite the MBM incentives. No real incentives when accomplishing a project. As a technical resource on several projects I found out the project managers receive the incentive while the resource who is physically doing the work receives nothing. No advanced notice about being let go when restructuring occurs. Footprint in Atlanta is being reduced to nothing as they appear to be continually expanding roles in Wichita. If you aren't in Wichita, your work will go unnoticed MBM is inconsistent and has various interpretations to various leaders.

      Thank you for your feedback! When applied well, Market Based Management is a very powerful tool in creating value for society. An integral part of its framework are 10 Guiding Principles that help guide our employees’ actions. To ensure our Principles aren’t merely used as ‘buzzwords,’ we utilize them throughout our selection and development processes so that everyone is being held accountable. Employees that succeed at Koch should excel in applying such principles as change, principled entrepreneurship, humility, and respect. As for our Atlanta office, we have a 3,000+ employee footprint within the Atlanta market. This includes Koch Industries, Koch Public Sector, Georgia-Pacific, Koch Business Solutions, INVISTA, etc. Koch companies have presence all over the United States and globally. We actively hire and develop our talent in all those locations.
