Pros

My experience has been there is great opportunities in the Koch companies to move laterally and take on additional responsibilities. The work is rewarding from a sense of accomplishment (fulfillment) but can be overwhelming that times with the amount of work. The work environment is professional and respectful. Integrity is a top priority for anyone and is essential for the business to exist. Company is financial responsible because it is focused on economic long term value.

Cons

Onboarding resources takes too long to keep pace with the market. Decisions making while thorough, take too long and will eventually put the business at a disadvantage in the market has other businesses progressing more quickly. Financial rewards are earned through very hard work and at times seen unattainable. This has proven to be a challenge when trying to retain good employees that are meeting expectations has they tend to stay in the lower end of the market and have a large number of alternatives in the Market. Understanding the compensation philosophy is key to having the right mindset but difficult for most employees to accept.

Pros

KBS is a great place to work (overall). I have been here 2 years and I still enjoy coming in to the office everyday. There is a great opportunity for growth and I am always acquiring new skillsets that can be utilize for future career opportunities. The company culture is the best that I have ever experienced and there is a true sense of camaraderie (almost family like). Everyone has been helpful and wants to see me succeed and I have not experienced the "crabs in a bucket workplace mentality here". Knowledge sharing is freely given from all levels and I can speak with my senior management team about any concerns that may arise and my concerns (one or two minor concerns in the past) and they are actually heard and acted upon. All of our offices and work stations are equipped with adjustable desk so you can actually stand up, at will, throughout the day. My responsibilities have evolved so much in a short period of time and I feel as if I am more than just a cog in a huge machine. I feel as if my work really matters and makes a difference. That's what most important to me.

Cons

Raises, bonuses and incentives are moderately obtainable but it takes too long from the time it is initiated to the time of the disbursement (3-months).

Pros

Lots of different experiences available. Work on projects all across the company.

Cons

Not much other than perhaps sometimes it's hard to get projects moving along because people are so busy.
