Pros

- Opportunity to understand different business and gain domain knowledge - Implementation of new tools and use it - Support from onsite team

Cons

- Training is not adequate in all the teams, they have the information in pieces, I felt there is no direction about the work. Most of the time, it is a self-learning, doing your own research. - My team lead is always busy with meeting, as he is also struggling managing his tasks as well as team's not sure whom to report about the work load. - Too much of training on MBM , talking about the same thing again and again. MBM seems to be good, but there is no plan on the training, contents shared during the MBM meeting are also irrelevant most of the time. - I am already witnessing lot of negative vibes here, being a new set up (3 years) and with around some employees, organization is heading to a different direction due to the senior management politics. - Very worst mechanism of performance review and appraisal. You need to show some marginal contribution apart from roles and responsibilities. However, articulating and differentiating between these two is a big drama here. - Managers are GOD here, they can play with anyone's life.. it is all about how they build that story about you. If your manager is capable of building good story, it is done - No transparency about process. They claim that they do not have a rating system. but there is a rating system which is not transparent to employees and termination of employees happening based on tht.. it is more of a one sided decision, employees side will never been heard. - Be in a mind set and prepared for your last day in Day 1 itself. My humble request, you dont know the truth. Manager and leader are using MBM not in a constructive way.. They use MBM as a tool to THREATEN the employees.. MBM conveys a different message but we are being told different things.. In short, MBM is misused in Bengalure and requires your immediate attention.

Pros

The culture is one where innovation and creativity are rewarded when they create value for the team and company. It encourages people to think outside the box.

Cons

Koch is comprised of several operating companies and each one has its own personality. This can be a positive as well, if you don’t fit in one you might in another.
