Collaborative, positive, yet challenging environment
Pros
KBS Is a very collaborative, innovative place to work. With that, comes a strong sense of what Koch refers to as the "challenge process." This process is used on a daily basis by KBS employees to seek the best knowledge and drive process improvements across the different groups. Change is more or less a constant in this environment. This culture drives a sense of positivity and eagerness within the company that makes coming to work everyday enjoyable and rewarding. Perhaps one of the biggest pros of working for KBS is the senior and mid-level management. For instance, it is not uncommon to find the president, Richard Swan, chatting with employees at their desks just to check-in and see how things are going. In addition, team lunches on and off-site, team building activities off-site, and "food days" are commonplace across the company. It is evident each group leader strives to invigorate a positive environment by creating a unique, positive culture for their team.
Cons
This is not a an 8-5 job where you show up, do your job, and go home. The company has very high expectations of all employees and rewards high performers accordingly.
