      Good work if you can survive the politics and pressure to show your value

      Compliance director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, cafeteria, parking, good soldiers

      Cons

      Leadership without clear objective or transparency, pressure to show your value and "transform" the company, 11 different companies with 11 different leaderships and goals and objectives and systems, politics (if you are not in, you are out and at risk). Also, if you move here, you are at higher risk. There are only 4 large employers in town - Koch, Spirit, Textron, and Cargill. This is bad for your salary growth (why do they need to give you any raises or bonuses - where are you going to go?), and bad for alternative employment options. You'll have to be ok with moving out. Keep a 6-month emergency fund at all times. Koch tends to move folks up and out, and a change in your supervisor could be the difference between a great job and your exit. If I could do it over, I would not have moved here. I would opt for larger city.

      A Company Losing its Values

      Systems analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and retirement planning options.

      Cons

      Many people in managerial roles don’t like to practice what Koch likes to preach. When you join the company or are being recruited, you are told they want to make sure you are fulfilled and that the company will help you get to where you want to be, but that’s purely a marketing tactic. I know so many people at Koch that were unable to transfer to new roles or between Koch companies because someone in upper management would not allow it. There is a lot of opportunity at Koch...but whether your leadership will encourage and spur you on towards those opportunities is kind of a gamble. On another note, the company culture was at an all-time low when I left. Much of this boils down to ineffective leadership that are not Koch-culture fits (makes you wonder how they ended up in their positions). Incentives are incredibly misaligned with the amount of work put in by individuals at this company. Bonuses and salaries are not competitive with the market (they will disagree, but I know this first-hand), and they are losing out on good talent because salaries and bonuses are embarrassingly below competitors.
