Learn about MBM principles for life. Charles Koch is truly inspiring. Office is Pretty good. You can brag to your friends that you work for one of the largest "Privately" held Organization in the World. Low probability of getting laid off due to market conditions.

Dislikes

Clear discrimination between North Indians and South Indians. If you are a North Indian and literally nailed the hiring process, you will still be rejected. In case you are selected then they will start to torture you as soon as you could be replaced. You will observe less than 5% People from North India in this Organization. It'sa product based Organization but works like a Service based Organization. You will be asked to do something extra even if you are doing your job. Else you can expect 0% hike. That something extra is all that matters to your Manager if he does not want to give you hike. Your manager is God here. It doesn't matter how many mistakes Managers commit here, the blame will always be on you. HR won't listen to you. Expect high work pressure since they expect a 2 -3 years experienced to work like a team lead and pay him peanuts....Read More

Got an offer from KOCH. You have two options 1. Ditch the offer and look for alternate offers in the market. 2. Slap urself and read the first option. Message to Leadership - Your silence and resilience to forced terminations either says ur with it or you dont care.. Either ways, you never know when tables turn.

Dislikes

1. While the market talks about AI in recruiting and using platforms like Github, Stakoverflow etc. The leader of the recruiting org uses hard copies of presentation to understand basic concepts. If the leadership is far from technology how do you expect the recruiting team to transform the working style. Often uses phone camera to scan payment barcodes and payment scanners to click photos. 2. Extremely political, bureaucratic environment where the TA leader hates listening "NO" as an answer and if you think differently, well your days will be numbered. 3. The leader practices the old age pre independence era concept of "Divide and rule". Has created disparity within the team, where every one fears that their colleagues are against them which makes his job safe. 4. No understanding of ground work, no respect to time of juniors, and work with an attitude that is harming koch but the local leadership is least bothered, as they are happy with a "YES BOSS" guy to support their irrational needs. 5. Huge attrition is technology business, the tech leader also moved out due to such political environment. The ones who stay are desperately looking out for jobs. 6. Their understanding of growth means downsizing of resources. Hundreds of involuntary and forced terminations occurred in last one year but they dont bother. 7. Idea of having an HR leader in org is to ensure there is balance in decision making. To the contrary the centre and Hr leader always agree with each other making all decisions extremely top down. Though the mbm vouches for bottom up approach. 8. Heard of the infamous saying "I dont make right decisions, i take decisions and then make them right" this is rightly attributed to kbs .. Hundreds of wrong decision taken but the cover up was smooth....Read More

Principle based management. Mr Koch's long term vision. Company balance sheet. Global presence

Dislikes

The KGS India leaders lack authoritative power, often acting as order-takers instead of strategic decision-makers. Despite following Principle-Based Management (PBM), the culture encourages conformity over innovation. - Lack of job security: Speaking up or raising concerns leads to targeting. - Fear-driven work environment: US team members are anxious about their jobs, leading to a culture of silence. - Recent mass firings have created unease. - No perks or benefits. The India HR head doesn't understand the benefits like insurance, car leasing or free food. - No HR department. Almost everyone in HRBP and HR ops has been fired....Read More

PBM and its value

Dislikes

Weaponising PBM . Using PBM they will kicked you out from the org . HR will never ask you a single time what happened there with employee. Very worst mindset . There is No value of hardworking people . Do Showoff and enjoy Koch life OR be close of some leaders who is in extreme power 😆 You will not going to get any direction to do the task and everything will be left to you . No plan nothing. Frequently your reporting manager will be changed . HR and All Management will be helping the business not you that’s crystal clear ....Read More

compensation is good

Dislikes

Extremely political environment. Unpleasant and unethical place for an HR professional. No support from global leadership. HR has no role to play. Team is constantly changing and many exits have happened due to poor culture. Office timings are very difficult from 12 P.M to 10 P.M. HR is constantly put under the bus and an easy target to throw out. Bottomline is job security is extremely low and this is not a place to build career. My advise is stay away, keep away so that you dont get into the cesspool call Koch Business Solutions....Read More

Company’s culture is very good, its principles are good.

Dislikes

Leadership team or Management doesn’t have long term vision at all. KOCH Principles are only meant to be in the CEO written book, sometime to appreciate or recognise any employees contribution Principles are visited. No job security, no transparency and big time office politics which actually pulls down talents

* Flexible timings (even though center pushes for 5 day working). * Pay is competitive in IT but not so in Finance * Show that you know/practice PBM and work can take a back seat, bad news it shall make you non hirable in the market.

Dislikes

* Most decisions are supposed to be taken by supervisors, but funny that their decision rights are only on paper. They are held accountable for decisions that they dont even take. * There have been multiple attritions in last couple of months, guess how many voluntary VS Involuntary? * Leadership doesnt understand the diff between use and abuse of PBM. Its funny that you can use the same culture conversation to give someone a huge pay and also throw someone out, just need to be a good speaker. *Multiple leadership changes across levels that happen overnight, which changes the dynamics of the team. *One could wake up to realize they have been fired on the same day, without notice/ or compensation. * I heard there were good number of employees from the HR team who left all of a sudden in the same way. Its only their third party hiring that is permanent.. * The leadership isnt able to manage the center dynamics and just portray a happy picture to any leader when they come up... The reality is diff behind close doors. * Supervisors/Leaders live in constant fear than techies, as they arent even sure if someone is carving a path for them to be thrown out....Read More
