Pros

Huge company with all of the accompanying array of benefits

Cons

Be prepared to be just another number to anyone besides your direct supervisor. Definitely a "disconnected" management style, with supervisors working from other offices completely unaware of what's happening in regional offices.

Pros

If you are in the Corporate Headquarters town of Wichita, KS, you have made it when you work for Koch. There aren't that many corporations there and only one other with any size as the predominant area industry, the small aircraft manufacturing business, has steadily declined.

Cons

Some companies will say "Employees are our Company", not Koch. No "Culture is our Company" rules at Koch and it's in the form of the Koch version of the 10 Commandments. In fact, they have been known to call employees at home without warning and ask them questions such as "Which one of our principles do you feel is the most important?", etc. On a Saturday night, at your home no less.

Pros

Fair compensation, good benefits, very competitive in the industry, Strong market presence. Employees are team players. Free doughnuts and bagels on Fridays.

Cons

Limited communication with upper management. Little to no recognition for a job well done. Few opportunities for advancement. Outdated technology in a rapidly changing industry.
