An on-campus interview is typically 20-30 minutes with a Koch company employee. It’s an opportunity for the interviewer to ask you a series of questions related to your experiences, and it also provides a chance for you to ask questions about Koch and the Koch company.
On many campuses, an information session about Koch and its companies is held the evening prior to the interviews. This allows you to meet multiple representatives from Koch companies and find out more about the opportunities available. You can also learn about the work environment, career opportunities, and other information that will help you decide whether a Koch company is the right company for you.
After your campus interview, a Koch company representative will contact you within 2 weeks if they would like to speak with you further. If the campus interviewer is unable to match your skills and background with our current opportunities, you will be notified by mail.
back to listOur on-site interviews are conducted at the corporate headquarters in Wichita, KS. The evening prior to on-site interviews, you will join Koch company hosts for dinner. These hosts are recent college hires and can give their perspective about our company. This is an opportunity to gain additional knowledge about Koch companies. Dress for this event is business casual (khaki pants, collared shirts, casual skirts, slacks, etc.)
The morning of your on-site interviews, your Koch company hosts will meet you for breakfast at your hotel and answer any last minute questions. You will then be escorted to the Koch company complex where you will begin a series of 4-5 interviews, each lasting 30-45 minutes. Your day will include lunch and a closing interview where you will learn what to expect next in the process. Typically, you should receive an offer or other feedback within 2 weeks of your on-site interview.
back to listKoch companies look for individuals with a good work ethic and a high sense of integrity who also have respect for themselves and others. We value people who are not afraid to take risks...which can sometimes mean failing. Consequently, we also need people who are not afraid to say "I was wrong" and who see failures as learning opportunities.
We want motivated self-starters who are willing to tackle a new project and who embrace learning. The Market Based Management™ philosophy requires employees of Koch companies to have a vision for a better way to do something...and the courage to try and change existing conditions.
