Pros

Sophisticated, challenging tax work that will stretch your ability to analyze complex issues.

Cons

Toxic culture. The only thing I can compare this experience to is an abusive relationship. You can expect to be emotionally abused, ignored, disregarded, publicly shamed and humiliated. The work is highly interesting, but at some point the abusive culture outweighs the interesting tax issues. This is a miserable, depressing environment to work in. You will also be told that bonuses are 50% - 100% of your base in the recruiting process while the reality is they are more in the 7% - 30% range depending upon how long you have been here.

Pros

- Very knowledgeable and helpful coworkers - Laid back environment in most IT groups - Growing company with lots of room for advancement and chance to change roles

Cons

- Process standardization or change takes and act of Congress before it gets implemented - Some business's resist change which oddly enough is one of the principles the company adheres too - Getting a raise takes literally 3 months and requires approvals from ppl who have no idea who you are or what value you create in your role - No holiday or tenure bonuses, KBS seems to rarely give out bonuses while other Koch companies give them out more often - Work from home and schedule flexibility is lacking

Pros

Koch has a very strong culture with guiding principles that provide clear expectations for all of their employees. Unlike many companies that just post their guiding principles on the wall, Koch educates employees about them and provides regular feedback to employees about how they can improve their performance. KBS provides services to a very diverse group of customers in a very large and complex enterprise environment. Adding the opportunities for career growth make this a great place to work.

Cons

There are times that the diversity of the internal customers and their demands can be frustrating. The resolution of these issues can sometimes seem political in nature. There are efforts underway to better align customers on technology decisions.
