Pros
No micro-management. Not just drink the kool-aid culture. Leaders and co-workers actively work to better themselves which in turn betters the company. Encouraged to challenge the status quo and any employee's opinion is valued. Compensation reviews every 6 months.
Cons
Lots of change and value creation can feel overwhelming at first. Once you dive into the MBM culture, things start to make more sense. Can be very stressful at first.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing!

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Koch Industries full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Like the culture, most of the people and pay is decent, benefits are good too.
Cons
Lack of commitment to the direction. They talk about putting customers and employees first but fight you and how to get there. Hold on to old ideas and not what employment looks like in the 21st century. In order to attract talent they will need to get more flexible.
Advice to Management
You have too many managers muddling up progress. You need to spread out decision making. It feels like red sea of tape to get ideas through.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Koch Industries full-time
Pros
They have truly hired some incredible people to work with. They have a true care and concern for keeping the work environment peaceful and positive. They are not unnecessarily strict about asinine work rules. The hiring process is a little long, for good reason. They also promote flexibility and have a concern for your personal life events.
Cons
The opportunity for advancement is more socially based than skill based.
Advice to Management
Promote employee growth to allow your employees to have more sense of fulfillment. Encourage change in a society that is changing at a rapid pace. Creating a bonus structure encourages employees to go above and beyond. These things create more loyalty.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Koch Industries (More than 8 years)
Pros
- A lot of talented great people work at Koch with lot's of mind and heart willing to share their time and talent
- Rapid change is expected of you to help ensure they stay ahead and cutting edge
- Exciting place to work if you can hang on to the blurring pace
- Opportunity for growth are exceptional
- Their guiding MBM principles are generally solid and have a "Golden Rule" type of toneCons
- Very fast pace with little time to look in the rear view, and almost too little concern to look ahead for obstacles - feels like a daily marathon
- Some of the folks there are tremendously narcissistic
- The MBM culture is near cult like and you must drink gulp of it constantly
- Management seems to care primarily about how they're perceivedAdvice to Management
- Take more time to allow personnel to breath
- In addition to using cutting-edge jargon and gesticulations to look great in meetings, invest some effort into true appreciation and concern for othersKoch Industries 2018-10-17 08:03 PDT![Koch Industries Logo]()
