Koch Response

Thank you for the feedback! I agree one of the best parts about working at Koch is the diverse groups of businesses and people that we come into contact with every day! I was disappointed to see that the internship did not prove as positive as we would hope! We have over 200 interns every summer and we pride ourselves on a stellar program. Some times we miss expectations and we need to know that, so thank you. We continue to find ways to get interns more looped into Sr. leadership and I hope you took advantage of those meetings and events while here. Interns are assigned a mentor for the summer so I am not sure what happened in your situation, but that is a base expectation. Again, thank you for sharing your experience!

Pros

Good insurance. The Atlanta office was more flexible with remote/hybrid work

Cons

The politics. People devalue teammates. Constantly changing direction so no meaningful impact can be made. Not a lot of diversity. If you don’t ask how someone’s kids are, you get complaints that you’re cold and difficult. Got there and a reorg killed the reason I was hired and was never provided with any sort of hope of growth opportunities.
