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.

Pros

Good experience with my boss and management, lots of freedom in managing daily tasks and responsibilities, and various opportunities for skill growth and problem solving. Helpful HR team, excellent benefits, and excellent coworkers.

Cons

IT Service Desk did not provide access to me for critical programs for several weeks. Since MKS is a matrix organization, certain functions and responsibilities spill into different departments. Other departments may have other issues.
