Pros

Family like environment, flexible hours

Cons

Kohler has always had some internal politics, but the current level is unprecedented. Distinct factions among C-level executives, particularly those with UK influence, are only hiring their own and attempting to dominate specific organizational functions. Different functions compete for David Kohler’s favored projects to gain favor with the Kohlers, but the issue is that some leaders misrepresent project statuses, exaggerate technological possibilities, or even redo work solely to claim credit. These leaders prioritize appearances over actual development, focusing on impressing David Kohler rather than driving meaningful progress. The R&D leader, particularly in the design function, lacks professional expertise and focuses on winning design awards or securing publications rather than perfecting the design or development, or even aligning with other executives. As a result, numerous projects have been canceled, yet these leaders gaslight their staff, claiming their work was adequate while blaming other functions for failures. Staff members are constantly complaining, trapped in a cycle of being sacrificed in these meaningless conflicts.
