Great company to work for long term

Pros

Non bureaucratic (relative), performance oriented, market-based compensation. Long-term focus only achieved from a private corporation.

Cons

Recent 'evolving' culture leaves the future uncertain. Focus should be on how to avoid becoming a "typical" corporation.

Pros

Sophisticated, challenging tax work that will stretch your ability to analyze complex issues.

Cons

Toxic culture. The only thing I can compare this experience to is an abusive relationship. You can expect to be emotionally abused, ignored, disregarded, publicly shamed and humiliated. The work is highly interesting, but at some point the abusive culture outweighs the interesting tax issues. This is a miserable, depressing environment to work in. You will also be told that bonuses are 50% - 100% of your base in the recruiting process while the reality is they are more in the 7% - 30% range depending upon how long you have been here.

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
