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.

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.
