Pros
I'm 20+ years into my career and have worked for public and private companies. This is the first company I've worked for where the value espoused are more than a lunchroom poster. GP employees are serious about following the shared Principle Based Management philosophy and guiding principles held across all Koch Industry companies. Respect, Humility, Principled Entrepreneurship - all of it is central to the work we do and most people want to be held accountable to living these principles. I've met the CEO once, and listened to him speak numerous times. He is one of the most approachable, authentic, bright CEOs I've ever met. It's no wonder GP's financial results have been so exceptional.
Cons
There are many people here who've never worked anywhere else. That limits new ideas and innovation. But there has been an influx of new folks given our growth in IT and all of the new initiatives we're implementing, so that is exciting.
