Pros

Strong culture based on free market principles. Personal career growth between companies. Strong brands and quality products. Company takes a true long term view in decisions and acquisitions. I have personally found much fulfillment in my tenure with the company and I am very optimistic about the future of the business.

Cons

It's not for everyone. The company has a very strong culture and some employees find it difficult to acclimate. Raises and bonuses are not automatic based on service dates, it's a true pay for performance system.

Pros

KBS, and Koch in general, are full of good honest business people. It is free market capitalism in its purest. I get evaluated against the talent that is available on the open market and I respect that. Performance driven culture Latitude to improve conditions around you Open feedback on performance/expectations Encouraged to take ownership of your work, development, and career Individuals that show promise get challenging assignments/roles Exposure to key decision makers Rapid growth for all Koch Industries companies I have seen people come and go. For most who have went, I understand and respect why Employees are open to change and challenging current processes

Cons

Do not do enough to connect employees in lower level roles to career path opportunities Not for those who are not driven to perform at above average levels Training and development programs need to be improved MBM (company culture) is a unique, but not as unique as it is made out to be Not a place to "cruise" through your career Antiquated systems and software (getting better) Subjective compensation structure Advancement to senior roles likely to require relocation to Wichita
