      Great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great compensation, and collaborative work environment. Having the ability to work remotely during Covid, and frequent updates from managers made the experience less stressful. Projects are demanding, but offer good opportunities to move into different roles.

      Cons

      401K is a 50% match, would like to see that go to 100% match at 6%.

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

      Anonymous employee

      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.

      Yes, we are growing fast as your comment title reads, however, that does not excuse some of the items you have listed. We recently launched an annual engagement survey to learn more directly from our employees about what is going well and where we can improve. We hope this will help us learn where we have issues or gaps within our workforce and management. We strive to continuously grow, learn and improve. Feel free to contact us at MKS.Feedback@mksinst.comif you would like to provide us with more information to help us on this journey. We appreciate your candor.
