Pros

MKS products are exceptional and support the most advanced applications in their respective market. A great place to work for engineering talent, and has an exceptional talent pool of people across the globe to work/partner with. The company however lacks leadership, skills and software investment for supply chain, supply planning, operations and inventory management.

Cons

Bureaucracy slows ability to scale, leadership unwilling to delegate decisions, human glue to support execution, limited IT technology to enable SC effectiveness, PTO below industry with forced usage through shutdowns.
