Fully Disappointed

Pros

Generally most people were great to work with.

Cons

Many people echoed poor work/life balance. Seemed like a lot of burn out was occurring. The person in charge of my training when I joined was clearly working too much, can’t imagine they’d want to train someone new with their workload. Poor training for new hires, mainly due to lack of time/resources. Then get told you ask too many questions due to the poor training. MKS has a long way to go to be competitive. Local HR folks seemed more with the times than corporate HR. I learned a lot from having conversations with local people.
