      Not a good place to work!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits blue cross blue shield of massachusetts, ok sick time with like 10 hoildays and 3 weeks of PTO.

      Cons

      Working hard gets you no where. People slack and don't help the older workers out they rather smoke Cigarettes all day or play monopoly on their phone! They keep the workers because they know people not because they work hard. Only Certain people are entitled to move up in the company it is not based on how hard you work it is all about Favoritism! Been an employee for over 7 years and I still get treated like a nobody.

      Good Company

      Sr. sw engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worked in one of the companies that got acquired by mks, they do care about quality and improving the product. They continued to invest in R&D, employee pay and development. The company has been growing quickly and I think their business strategy is a good.

      Cons

      There are some times 2-4 unpaid 1 week shutdowns per year. Also they will only tell you a shutdown is coming a few weeks in advance. So technically you can take a vacation whenever you want... ...However you risk missing pay, if you don't take it exactly when they tell you.

      Lack of Vision, awful culture

      Pros

      Small company so you get to wear a lot of hats.

      Cons

      80% of the company is just collecting a paycheck/ waiting for retirement without having done meaningful work in years. Complete snooze fest. 20% of the company is burnt out and not recognized. No opportunity for growth, don’t work here if you’re a serious engineer who wants to have a fulfilling and meaningful career.
