Pros

MKS companies mostly continue to operate as they did before getting acquired. (Small company "feel" with big company assets.) HR does a good job of showing appreciation for employees. Also, retention via growth opportunities and movement within the company is a priority.

Cons

There is some disconnects between functional groups.

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.
