Pros

MBM Culture - The beauty of MBM is that you can network very easily within the company to find other opportunities. Read any Charles Koch Books to familiarize yourself. My favorite is Science of Success Culture - Read the Cons but don’t get me wrong there are some great groups and great people as well. No Micromanagement - Principled Entrepreneurship culture gives you the freedom to treat your job and role like your own business – making you accountable for the outcomes Diversifciation of Businesses- From Oil and Gas, Paper, Electonic Connectors to Data Analytics

Cons

There is discrimination, favoritism, retaliation definitely in some groups at KGS. The culture of MBM is to challenge and enrich the discussion but some groups are so insular they only allow this to happen within their group. This is sort of the small-town mentality that you could find working on the Wichita, KS campus. They just are not open to othesr idea and they will tolerate outsiders but they do not appreciate outside thinking. It doesnt matter how much emotional EQ you have or how you communicate it. Tthey will stick within their clique and only listen to 'popular' people. Its hard for MBM to overcome small town mentality.

Hello, this is Molly from the Talent Solutions team and I wanted to say thank you and recognize all of the hard work you have put in over the past 8+ years! I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and overall experience. While I am happy to read that the culture and overall opportunities have been positive, I am concerned to read of the favoritism, discrimination and retaliation. We do not tolerate these behaviors and I would encourage you to speak to your HR contact or share your concerns by visiting the Guideline at http://mykochguideline.com. Please know that I will be sharing your feedback with the appropriate leadership team as well as immediate opportunities. Thank you again.
