Pros

Lots of challenging technical problems to solve for highly advanced customers. A good mix of hands-on and theoretical work.

Cons

As a large company, most of the individual business units remain siloed which results in a limited amount of cross-pollination of ideas.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We value innovation as a core capability, so it is encouraging to hear you find our culture supports that and that your work is challenging and rewarding. We understand the tendency for business units to become siloed, which is why, in 2018, we created an MKS Ideation site. This allows employees from all across the organization to submit their innovative ideas and work cross-functionally to bring their ideas to fruition. The Ideation site helps facilitate collaboration across the businesses and divisions and is managed by our Office of the CTO. We hope you, and every employee, will take advantage of this site and continue to help us enable the technologies that transform our world. If you would like to find out more about this program, please reach out to MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com.
