Pros

A few nice people work there.

Cons

Expect to be on call twice per month during nights and weekends. Do not expect to have a work-life balance. Do not expect people to be friendly. Expect to be asked to do things like mow the lawn in addition to your professional duties because that is how Koch treats some people. Do expect your manager to exhibit bullying behavior, lie to you (beginning at time of interview) and cheat you out of raises and bonuses. You will never feel any happier than when you finally walk away! I would not recommend working for Koch to the worst person on this planet!!!

Pros

Interesting work, Great learning opportunities from consummate professionals.

Cons

Your experience can vary widely based on the company/team you join. Not all Koch companies are created equal. It seems to be particularly rough if you join a shared/leveraged capability.
