Good place to work overall, but not great

Pros

- Very knowledgeable and helpful coworkers - Laid back environment in most IT groups - Growing company with lots of room for advancement and chance to change roles

Cons

- Process standardization or change takes and act of Congress before it gets implemented - Some business's resist change which oddly enough is one of the principles the company adheres too - Getting a raise takes literally 3 months and requires approvals from ppl who have no idea who you are or what value you create in your role - No holiday or tenure bonuses, KBS seems to rarely give out bonuses while other Koch companies give them out more often - Work from home and schedule flexibility is lacking

Pros

Growing company in growing stable industry Decent pay

Cons

Parent company (Koch Industries) is essentially run by legal department which trickles down to all subsidiaries. Very strong bias in corporate that values degrees over actual work experience.

Pros

I truly feel like I am in control of my destiny at KBS. You are granted significant latitude to improve how work is done, and are rewarded and recognized for it with the right leaders in place (although this is inconsistent but improving). High levels of initiative will see you go far. If you just want to collect a paycheck you can, but don't expect any recognition for just doing what you are paid to do. Fast paced, rapid growth, for highly motivated individuals. Good compensation, not bad benefits. MBM is a good (and consistent) way to run an efficient company which keeps expectations for performance and vision easily aligned.

Cons

Challenge of the Role: A company this size with so many competing I.T. interests internally can be difficult to manage - Attempts are made to minimize bureaucracy but not always effective. Speed of change for our customers is very fast, and can be difficult to wrangle without corporate sponsorship. Challenge of the Company: Growth in aspirations does not seem to match speed of obtaining (or recognizing need for)talent.
