Pros

I truly feel like I am in control of my destiny at KBS. You are granted significant latitude to improve how work is done, and are rewarded and recognized for it with the right leaders in place (although this is inconsistent but improving). High levels of initiative will see you go far. If you just want to collect a paycheck you can, but don't expect any recognition for just doing what you are paid to do. Fast paced, rapid growth, for highly motivated individuals. Good compensation, not bad benefits. MBM is a good (and consistent) way to run an efficient company which keeps expectations for performance and vision easily aligned.

Cons

Challenge of the Role: A company this size with so many competing I.T. interests internally can be difficult to manage - Attempts are made to minimize bureaucracy but not always effective. Speed of change for our customers is very fast, and can be difficult to wrangle without corporate sponsorship. Challenge of the Company: Growth in aspirations does not seem to match speed of obtaining (or recognizing need for)talent.

Pros

Company values, competitive compensation and benefits; leadership; personal and professional growth opportunity

Cons

Lack of structure - you must be very self-starting and take initiative on your own without guidance (this is also a Pro in that you are stretched)

Pros

KBS has a good Koch culture with a strong emphasis on values and beliefs. The organization allows and encourages movement between groups so your career is not limited to a specific function. Koch is a very financial solid company with plans to continue the significant we have experienced over the past few years.

Cons

Koch has high standards for performance and KBS is a fast paced environment. It is not for everyone, but it is very satisfying for those who perform well in this service focused environment.
