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.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I have to agree that the people here are pretty amazing so it is great to see you experienced this. I did want to address your note on diversity within the recruitment team. I do believe we have a great mix of people supporting our various businesses from a variety of diverse backgrounds (to include traditional diversity/minority but also beyond), but I also believe that we can always do better. We strive to bring a diverse group of people and leaders together to support the talent challenges our businesses are trying to tackle, as well as have a greater impact on removing barriers across our entire recruitment process. This is a continued focus for us and one that we are committed to. I appreciate your note as it is a great reminder we still have work to do! All the best and thank you again!- Katie Schuckman, Senior Director of Talent Solutions
