Pros

After being at Koch for almost 2 years, I have learned a great deal and stay constantly challenged in my role. I am able to find value in what I do and get the opportunity to interact with various different types of people from across Koch. As with any challenging job, a lot is expected of you but you are recognized for the work that you do and the value that you bring. Koch stresses the importance to grow in your career and gives opportunities to move within the organization to achieve your goals.

Cons

The work that is being done is high demanding and requires you to strive towards facilitating change. If you want to be challenged daily then this is the place for you. One aspect that could be improved is that it is a little more difficult to get flex schedules and/or telecommuting approved for your role. This is one area where KBS is slightly behind on making the options available to its employees as an incentive on a regular basis.

Pros

All employees must follow MBM Guiding Principles- they work and make sense! You are expected to think like a business owner- if you see opportunities for change and improvement you are expected to raise and drive those ideas forward. Regular, direct, and honest feedback- I know exactly what I am doing well and what I need to improve in. I have control over my success- Expectations are very clear and I have enough room and flexibility to meet expectations. If I miss the mark or don't meet expectations, it is a result of my own performance and not because I was missing the tools or support necessary to be successful. Compensation is very competitive and is very much tied to my contributions and the value I create. Excellent leadership- current leadership is supportive and has developed a strong, actionable vision. Individualized job growth and opportunities- Koch Industries is going through huge growth and expansion, this will continue to change and expand job opportunities available within Koch. My career path doesn't look like that of my peers or colleagues, it is based on my individual strengths, weaknesses, and areas of interest.

Cons

The company has undergone and continues to find new ways to innovate and change- change can be very unnerving to some. Truly, I really enjoy working for KBS. I feel like I have learned so much, worked hard, and as a result have been rewarded with great and interesting opportunities.
