Pros

Koch has been a great place for me to learn about business and grow my career. The business unit I have been a apart of has allowed me to expand my role. Entrepreneurship and challenge process is encouraged. MBM is great set of principles for the business.

Cons

Not everyone adheres or applies MBM the same. Some do much better than others. Lack of flexibility of work location, lack of dev, programs and women's programs, bland office environment for office staff.

Pros

Great coworkers for the most part. Everyone is really dedicated to getting the sale and working together to get the job done

Cons

Mgmt has a lot of issues, emphasis on speed over quality if work life. Don't care how many hours you have to work as long as you get the job done. Works out in their favor since most office employees are salary and it doesn't matter how long you work. Was working 80-100 hrs a week and it still wasn't good enough

Thank you for your feedback! It provides a good opportunity for organizational learning and growth. One of our core Principles is for employees to find fulfillment and meaning in their work by fully developing their capabilities, but within that spirit, we also encourage balance through community involvement, volunteerism, and offering additional benefits for employees and their families (e.g., health and welfare, 401k savings, paid time-off, etc.).

Pros

A principled free-market company, which makes it easy to know your direction. A good company, that I respect and work for anytime.

Cons

Big, at times bureaucratic, you need to talk the talk to see advancement opportunities.
