Management is a disaster. No strategic plan. Four weeks of unplanned shutdowns last year and looking st the same this year. Constant pressure for you to take vacation but work through vacation.

Pros

No reason to work for MKS anymore after acquisition of Newport Corp. Company recently, for instance, hired a new manager . He is not educated in the field but he likes his position. Another words teacher doesn't know the subject.

Cons

Bad management with very poor technical knowledge.
