Koch Engineered Solutions Project & Program Management Department Reviews

Likes

Looking at my perspective the one thing which I personally appreciate about KES is their culture. Recently their has been multiple changes experienced by organization due to which new leadership kicks in and they have to work very hard for maintaining the work culture because distortion (young leadership) is sitting in the corner and waiting for right time.

In my view every individual and organization needs improvement, so in case of KES, looking at the size of Koch Industries as an organization is very huge and need no introduction but picture becomes very different on business stream level. Whatever the reviews I am putting is my personal experience and nothing have to do with any one else opinion. Leadership - Currently the leadership is going through a very weak phase due to recent changes and Indian management has given the responsibility to run the business. I find there is a misalignment between the principles they preach and actions carried out. Middle management has given more power which works as a barrier in between sub middle management and upper management communication and transparency, which is destroying individual loyalty towards his work. Exposure for growth - It generally happens that people who deserves exposure with medium communication skills values more whereas here I found more opposite. Human Resources - Lot of work needs to be done in this area because the actual work of HR is still unexplored due to frequent changes in organization. Most of the time they are working on activities which are non value added and activities which suppose to be taken care has been offloaded to supervisor. Even it is fine but what about maturity of a supervisor who will take decision? Young Leadership - The most outstanding reform can any industry bring is in this area, I found that all the people who are a part of this program needs to more maturity. They are not ready to lead a team because of their least exposure in this industry, instant upliftment always leads to ignorance, arrogance and ego problem which can be seen often. Cross functional Teams - I find that people are good but lacks awareness about the latest updates in the industry. Principle and Values - I haven't seen any organization who is so focused on their principles and values, in my personal experience their is a big difference in understanding between a transmitter and receiver. If you find this post mingles your experience then you need to ask the question why or even if it doesn't mingle to your experience then the question remains the same why .... is it partiality with any individual ... I rest here and wish KES all the success....Read More

Only offices in USA and Europe work on Projects that involve core Process Engineering activities. If you are lucky enough, you might get to interact with those people. Great Database.

Dislikes

Not recommended to any person who dreams of working on activities which deem to be as core Process Engineering. People leading the department lack basic skills. People who destroyed the Process Engineering department and are retired still have a voice rather advisory capacity in this company.
