Training is minimal, culture fit is do or die, lots of office politics, high turnover (in my area at least).

Pros

Decent work-life balance, although you could work overtime every week and still not be caught up. Professional environment. If you have no education you can still be promoted.

Cons

Micromanagement with no clear direction to providing answers of doing it correctly. No real formal training, and they did not suggest any classes that could help in the role.

Thank you for your feedback. Our culture embraces constructive challenge and a sense of urgency so that everyone can make a meaningful contribution. We are glad these are aspects you find fulfilling. Because each employee and each role is different, we place a high value on individual initiative in determining the most appropriate path to advance. There are some great internal resources available to provide further assistance (e.g., supervisor, HR).

Pros

Really good teammates/peers to work with in the environment. Very knowledgeable in what they do

Cons

The company as a whole is like working for a cult. You either fit in the environment, or you don't. If you don't, you'll find out pretty quick. Maybe that's a good thing?

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed working with your teammates/peers. We agree that Koch employees are knowledgeable in what they do and that is one of the great things about our company, getting to work with high achieving talent that helps each other grow. We do have a very specific work culture (Market Based Management) at Koch, and we are extremely proud of that culture, but we understand that it might not be for everyone. At the core of our culture is our guiding principles, which demand humility, respect, integrity, principled entrepreneurship, change, and more. Justin Huschka, KBS Talent Acquisition Manager
