Pros

All employees must follow MBM Guiding Principles- they work and make sense! You are expected to think like a business owner- if you see opportunities for change and improvement you are expected to raise and drive those ideas forward. Regular, direct, and honest feedback- I know exactly what I am doing well and what I need to improve in. I have control over my success- Expectations are very clear and I have enough room and flexibility to meet expectations. If I miss the mark or don't meet expectations, it is a result of my own performance and not because I was missing the tools or support necessary to be successful. Compensation is very competitive and is very much tied to my contributions and the value I create. Excellent leadership- current leadership is supportive and has developed a strong, actionable vision. Individualized job growth and opportunities- Koch Industries is going through huge growth and expansion, this will continue to change and expand job opportunities available within Koch. My career path doesn't look like that of my peers or colleagues, it is based on my individual strengths, weaknesses, and areas of interest.

Cons

The company has undergone and continues to find new ways to innovate and change- change can be very unnerving to some. Truly, I really enjoy working for KBS. I feel like I have learned so much, worked hard, and as a result have been rewarded with great and interesting opportunities.

Pros

One of the best things about working at Koch Business Solutions are the people. The people here are great and will help you succeed if you work hard and ask for help when needed. Humility goes a long way here. KBS give you so many opportunities to work with other Koch Companies and expand your knowledge. Your career possibilities are endless if you work hard and focus on creating value. The MBM principles are not just a picture on our wall, they are principles that we value and demonstrate in our day to day work. KBS is not for everyone. It requires hard work, determination, critical thinking, accepting failure, challenging the status quo and a passion for customer focus. The great thing about KBS and all other Koch companies is you are compensated for the value you create, not by the length of time you have worked there. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a career that is challenging, yet fulfilling.

Cons

KBS is constantly on the lookout for talent, but is very selective about who they hire, which at times causes teams to be down a few people.

Pros

There are many opportunities for advancement at Koch. The sky is the limit if you have the ambition to succeed. Bi weekly discussions with your supervisor to discuss performance and career development opportunities

Cons

KBS does a good job at innovation the only downside it the time it takes to implement.
