      Pros

      MKS products are world-class, highly technical, high value add, and serve the most advanced applications on the planet. The culture is a nice balance of accountability and autonomy.

      Cons

      Multiple international sites comes with timing challenges. Complex business, multiple BUs, and product lines can be challenging to work across.

      Pros

      Good Colleagues, Decent Pay, Management cares, generally strong experience and competence across teams.

      Cons

      Large corporation means some things move slowly or are difficult to change. Office was a bit dated. Older cohorts mean risk of expertise leaving upon retirement without many younger colleagues to take up the knowledge.
