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.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
