      Pros

      Fast pace and growing organization.

      Cons

      It is a high stress, micro-managing environment and management puts unreasonable demands on personal time and quality of life. Will not allow work from home as a corporate wide option, even though they have remote employees. Not a consistent message to employees. Employees view this as a double standard. They say there is a bonus structure, but it is next to impossible to get one. They use it like a carrot to drive you to go above and beyond (“value creation”), but they leave you exhausted and disappointed.

      Pros

      If you can get a job at one of the other KOCH companies things get better, good. Overall KOCH is a good place to work, KBS is not the place to be.

      Cons

      Its a shared service group that claims that it wants to be top notch, but in the end all they care about is getting by on the cheap and the backs of the workers. Command and control, do as your told, don't think out loud, tow the company line. If the sky is blue, you better say its green if thats what the boss says or your out. They preach their 10 principles, but no one in leadership roles follow them. Its basically all about keeping costs down and making sure the top leaders get the bonuses. Leaders claim they follow the 10 principles, but don't, you practice the do as I say or else mgmt model. They claim to want to follow the law (written or its intent), rules but only when it keeps doesn't impact their bonus.

      Pros

      Employees are generally motivated and have a positive work ethic, pay is decent. Feedback from management is helpful.

      Cons

      Expectation is that work-life balance is nonexistent. Expect phone calls on vacation for unimportant reasons. Benefits and vacation time are minimum. Office atmosphere is not social.
