      Thank you for your response. Yes, at MKS we value our employees and are proud to offer competitive benefits and opportunities for career growth and development. We continually evaluate our comprehensive benefits package to ensure we are appropriately aligned to the market. Department schedules for vacation use may vary depending on demand, however employees should always feel comfortable to discuss time off with their direct manager. We encourage this type of two-way dialogue because a healthy work-life balance is fundamental for employees. If we can assist with tips on how to start these kind of conversations, please contact us directly at MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com.

      Difficulty maintaining a healthy work life there.

      Pros

      -Coworkers were great and friendly. -Cafeteria with daily food selections for breakfast + lunch (Only for 1st shift, second shift and later it would be closed sadly) -Free Coffee

      Cons

      -Pushed for unrealistic quotas. -Annual raises that didn't match the work we had to put in (less than 50 cents). -Management and Engineering would buttheads for how things were done seemingly undiscussed, the blame was then put onto the workers for "Not doing something correctly" or "Not working efficiently/fast enough."
