Business Outlook

Pros

Newer technicians will be able to learn new technologies You are able to learn while working if you have the drive You will be able to travel occasionally for projects.

Cons

Too much change in a short period of time, I had 3 managers in less than 1 year. No diversity or cultural diversity (if you don't use MBM buzz words or Jargon, you suddenly become unprofessional) Not allowed to challenge the status-quo or you appear to be a renegade. Pay is considerably low when comparing to the market and despite the MBM incentives. No real incentives when accomplishing a project. As a technical resource on several projects I found out the project managers receive the incentive while the resource who is physically doing the work receives nothing. No advanced notice about being let go when restructuring occurs. Footprint in Atlanta is being reduced to nothing as they appear to be continually expanding roles in Wichita. If you aren't in Wichita, your work will go unnoticed MBM is inconsistent and has various interpretations to various leaders.

Thank you for your feedback! When applied well, Market Based Management is a very powerful tool in creating value for society. An integral part of its framework are 10 Guiding Principles that help guide our employees’ actions. To ensure our Principles aren’t merely used as ‘buzzwords,’ we utilize them throughout our selection and development processes so that everyone is being held accountable. Employees that succeed at Koch should excel in applying such principles as change, principled entrepreneurship, humility, and respect. As for our Atlanta office, we have a 3,000+ employee footprint within the Atlanta market. This includes Koch Industries, Koch Public Sector, Georgia-Pacific, Koch Business Solutions, INVISTA, etc. Koch companies have presence all over the United States and globally. We actively hire and develop our talent in all those locations.

Pros

Livable wage that is in line with the local market. Mostly good people to work with. Insurance and coverage is fully comprehensive and extremely inexpensive for how much you get. Most of the company is very open to moving/promoting/growing employees. It's not uncommon to see role changes within 2 years of work. The CEO is exceptionally kind and generous. There's a reason why people who work here adore him.

Cons

Macro Scale: Pension is no longer available to new employees (at least on the entry level). Very slow to respond to new market factors in terms of benefits. Division: Management seemed to be somewhat detached from employees and issues. Turnover is very high for younger employees. Did not have a lot of opportunity for promotion, lateral movement, or growth. Corporate level implementation of policies and technology seemed to reach our group last and take the longest to implement, if it ever was.

Thanks for your review. We strive to support all of our employees by providing competitive benefits and opportunities, but with an organization of our size, it is difficult to completely satisfy everyone. Your feedback offers a helpful perspective.
