      Good Company

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worked in one of the companies that got acquired by mks, they do care about quality and improving the product. They continued to invest in R&D, employee pay and development. The company has been growing quickly and I think their business strategy is a good.

      Cons

      There are some times 2-4 unpaid 1 week shutdowns per year. Also they will only tell you a shutdown is coming a few weeks in advance. So technically you can take a vacation whenever you want... ...However you risk missing pay, if you don't take it exactly when they tell you.

We continually evaluate our comprehensive benefits package to ensure we are appropriately aligned to the market.

      Returning to a great company

      Facilities manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Back home! I returned to MKS after spending just over seven years at two other companies. The people I work with are great. There is little or no workplace conflict and in general everyone I encounter has a positive attitude. MKS offers better pay and benefits than the other companies I have experience with. Staffing is minimized and the workload is tough, but I feel well-compensated and rewarded for the job I am asked to do.

      Cons

      Staffing - MKS has eliminated positions in economic downturns and carefully controls headcount additions. The company relies on contractor relationships to perform most facilities maintenance tasks.
