Pros

Great place to work and develop skills. With the leadership changes over the past couple years, great improvements on employee appreciation, drive for helping grow and develop in role, and approachability of upper management. You often feel like your work matters and is appreciated. Exciting working for a company that continues to grow nationally and globally. Always something new to learn and take on!

Cons

Improvements have been made over the past couple of years, but not very flexible of alternate work schedules. The corporate culture does not always facilitate the work from home schedules etc. Can be frustrating when trying to maintain work life balance.

Pros

Growing company in growing stable industry Decent pay

Cons

Parent company (Koch Industries) is essentially run by legal department which trickles down to all subsidiaries. Very strong bias in corporate that values degrees over actual work experience.

Pros

I truly feel like I am in control of my destiny at KBS. You are granted significant latitude to improve how work is done, and are rewarded and recognized for it with the right leaders in place (although this is inconsistent but improving). High levels of initiative will see you go far. If you just want to collect a paycheck you can, but don't expect any recognition for just doing what you are paid to do. Fast paced, rapid growth, for highly motivated individuals. Good compensation, not bad benefits. MBM is a good (and consistent) way to run an efficient company which keeps expectations for performance and vision easily aligned.

Cons

Challenge of the Role: A company this size with so many competing I.T. interests internally can be difficult to manage - Attempts are made to minimize bureaucracy but not always effective. Speed of change for our customers is very fast, and can be difficult to wrangle without corporate sponsorship. Challenge of the Company: Growth in aspirations does not seem to match speed of obtaining (or recognizing need for)talent.
