      Pros

      Challenging work, company culture, intelligent co-workers, results oriented, a true feeling of being able to create value for the company, company benefits

      Cons

      Koch is generally a lean running group that at times requires sacrifices of time away from your family, friends and activities.

      Pros

      -Very stable work environment with low turnover. The parent company is nearly immune to economic cycles. -Very experienced senior traders. -Excellent hours and flexibility. Perfect if you have children. The extremely flexible vacation policy is the best I have seen. -If you are senior you can make more money than nearly anywhere else I know off.

      Cons

      -Suffocating risk management. It takes too long to get trading permissions and you are not compensated for opportunity cost while you wait. This is actually a major competitive disadvantage. -Poor/below market compensation with very slow reviews of same if you are not a senior trader. -No accountability. Some people have been tenured so long that they are paid even if they lose money. Turnover is a little too low. -Growth opportunities are driven more by your political skills with senior traders than any requirement of competence. -Overemphasis on ownership's political views. -Very understaffed with analysts and IT support. If you are a trader, expect to do a lot of things yourself.

      Do not work for Koch

      Pros

      I actually worked for Koch Quantitative Trading under the previous leadership team. The best reason to work there is the experience and exposure you get to various commodity and capital markets.

      Cons

      They treat you terribly and constantly turn people over. You are expendable.
