Great company and well run

Pros

Stable product, well funded operations, strong safety culture. Company is owned by Koch and has a very consistent company culture which is defined by their guiding principles. It is very clear that unlike many companies mission statements which get reviewed periodically as an exercise that employees from top to bottom are expected to create value, and deal with respect and humility towards others. Charles Koch is an excellent guide for the company, being privately held allows the company to focus on long term value instead of the next quarterly earnings report.

Cons

It is a manufacturing environment with round the clock operation and can sometimes require long hours and/or weekend work. Generally able to compensate for this by schedule flexibility at other times.

Pros

Amazing company business philosophy. Market-Based Management and the company's commitment to excellence provides a maximum growth and development opportunity. People are great, willing to work with you, help you and challenge your thought processes and ideas to foster the best knowledge and the greatest return from a personal perspective in a fulfilling environment, and also provide business growth that is constantly surpassing its last projections.

Cons

Silos exist between business groups, and often duplication of efforts are an unfortunate consequence.

Pros

Good company, great management principles that discourage micromanagement and encourage continuous improvement and innovation. Private company, long term thinking is strongly supported, not overly concerned about quarterly returns.

Cons

Large corporation which leads to a lot of red tape and roadblocks which can be frustrating.
