      Good place to work overall, but not great

      Pros

      - Very knowledgeable and helpful coworkers - Laid back environment in most IT groups - Growing company with lots of room for advancement and chance to change roles

      Cons

      - Process standardization or change takes and act of Congress before it gets implemented - Some business's resist change which oddly enough is one of the principles the company adheres too - Getting a raise takes literally 3 months and requires approvals from ppl who have no idea who you are or what value you create in your role - No holiday or tenure bonuses, KBS seems to rarely give out bonuses while other Koch companies give them out more often - Work from home and schedule flexibility is lacking

      A unique place...

      Pros

      The pay, at least for my position, is definitely fair. Management is taking steps to improve knowledge sharing and encourages ideas from anyone. There are some very intelligent, helpful individuals here who respect others contributions.

      Cons

      High turnover rates. Seems difficult to gain professional development and the culture is a joke. There are also some real jerks. I wouldn't accept this job again.

      Pros

      Good company with strong mission and values. They live and breath Market-Based Management (MBM), which are the 10 commandments, erh, 10 guiding principles by which the culture is formed and maintained. You must drink the cool-aid, which, at the end of the day, is not bad tasting, if you are very conservative, hard-working, and passionate about oil, chemicals, and toilet paper. Although not perfect, they do attempt to practice what they preach, from the top-down and bottom-up. Management, in most cases, works hard, rewards good behavior, and strives to help those who need to improve. Pay is in range for a large company.

      Cons

      It is not a "fun" environment. Typical huge company, slow moving. They day often feels like drudgery. Compliance, for better or worse, is their top priority -- understandable, but can be taken too far outside the context of their core business (which clearly does have regulatory restrictions.) Teamwork is mediocre (at least in Atlanta), because people aren't in close proximity. The office is downtown and extremely long commutes force folks to get out by 3:45 to beat traffic and enjoy their "real life" at home. Bonus structure is "performance based", but still somewhat subjective. i.e. "spot bonuses". Annual performance reviews are given, but not always salary increases -- not even COL adjustments.
