Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. At MKS, We Win As A Team and one of the ways we are able to do that is by developing & engaging our people. It is great that you had the opportunity to develop and grow as a Co-Op and learned from the talented people around you. As we grow and add capabilities to the organization, there are times when employees are asked to play broader roles. Newer teams and business sometimes must do that to support growth. Our more mature businesses typically see more specialty roles. We think that allows for opportunities for all types of employees; some prefer broader roles, and some prefer more narrow or niche opportunities. If you’d like to discuss our opportunities further, please contact us at MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com.
