Pros

MKS is a well managed, successful company that has a strategy to weather the ups and downs of the semiconductor market. For instance, using furloughs more than layoffs.

Cons

The company roadmap for future development is not widely known. The new CEO is making changes benevolent treatment of employees may change.

Pros

Excellent technology, strong market position, solid people, good work environment, company certainly matured in the 10+ years I was there

Growth strategy particularly beyond semiconductor vague and not well understood by employees; though company has some very strong, loyal employees, employees lack empowerment
