Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Koch Industries full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Growing company as it dables in a lot of industries
Cons
Too many changes in supervisors over me. They don't invest in employees like they preach. No investment in coaching or employee engagement for any momentum in a career there.
Advice to Management
Start listening to your employees. No real engagement with employees.

Pros
Only take this role if you are straight out of college, and have no technical or business skills whatsoever. You may learn some things about the energy trading space, but most likely not. You will probably get better at excel though, but if you have an opportunity to go into a front office role directly out of school, take that opportunity.
Experienced folks - if you want a job that is not dead end, do not take this role!Cons
There are alot of downsides to this role.
1) There is no critical thinking needed. The role is simply plugging and chugging numbers into a excel spreadsheet everyday. Every single day is the exact same. There is no variation. Front office team looks to you like a robot cost center, and as someone that just makes mistakes since you are calculating their PnL for them.
2) They tell you that you can make it to the front office constantly, but very few people are able to do it (and those that do take MANY years to do) so turnover is extremely large. The hours are not fantastic either.
In all, I would absolutely not recommend the product control role whatsoever unless you really enjoy repetitive work with 0 upside.Koch Industries 2018-09-15 02:50 PDTHelpful (3)
