Cons

-Growth and development -Low salary increase -Management in production does not like production people to participate in company activities -They don’t care about stabilizing manpower especially if you are an assembler and high turnover rate. -Bonus depends on overall MKS performance so if one country did not perform well then bonus get screwed.

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.
