It is great to hear that some of our Guiding Principles of collaboration and respect were reflected in the team culture you experienced. We agree that it is unfortunate that Covid resulted in the need to minimize in-person interactions. Everyone has felt the negative impact of Covid, but we hope you have appreciated the company’s efforts to maintain a sense of community and open communication throughout this unprecedented time.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We understand that the management change you experienced caused disruption to your role. It can be difficult to adjust to new dynamics and leadership styles. A lack of respectful candor or negative repercussions for constructive feedback do not align with our Guiding Principles as an organization. At MKS, we have a strong culture of accountability and fairness. We believe in identifying candidates with the best qualifications for a role, and in the importance of having the right person in the right role. We are committed to fostering an environment of respect, accountability, and inclusion and we pride ourselves on encouraging a flexible work schedule to maintain a strong work-life balance; this has executive-level support. It is unfortunate to hear that you don’t believe your experience aligned with these principles. If you have any additional feedback or would like to discuss these matters further, please reach out directly to MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com
