Pros

Fast paced and exciting work with cutting edge supplier and customer relationships. A true look behind the curtain for most high tech fields.

Cons

Cash heavy company continues to decrease benefits and more inclined to bring in outside talent than promote from within. Receive regular notifications of Corporate level promotions with difficulty in acquiring tools with absurdly low purchasing power for local managers.

Growing too fast, they don't care about their employees

Pros

Health insurance plan, vacation time

Cons

Management is a joke, most managers are clueless what they're doing but they have a degree and that makes them "management", micro management is thick at MKS, almost every person is in a terrible mood daily, workloads are ridiculously overwhelming for everyone. Unless you're a Manager, don't expect any perks. Bonuses are a joke for people under management. Zero support from HR.
