Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's good to hear that you had supportive colleagues and managers during your time at MKS—We win as a team, and those day-to-day relationships matter a lot. We also hear your concerns about compensation and feeling valued. That kind of feedback really matters to us. Every year, we run an employee engagement survey followed by focus groups so we can listen more closely and figure out where we need to do better. These conversations help shape the steps we take, and we always encourage employees to speak up and be part of that ongoing effort. If there’s anything more you’d like to share, feel free to reach out to us at mks.feedback@mksinst.com. Thanks again for your time with us, and we wish you all the best.

Pros

Depending on the day, the work could be fairly effortless.

Cons

Many times, the work load was unreasonable. The manager of the filter department could be difficult to work alongside at times as he had a bad temper. Coworkers were generally helpful and easygoing. The compensation was not commensurate to the demanding and multifaceted nature of the job. Overall, not a company I would recommend working at.
