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. If you have any additional feedback or would like to discuss these matters further, please reach out directly to MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to identify areas for growth. At MKS we strive for a competitive pay and benefit package and we continually evaluate our comprehensive benefits package to ensure we are appropriately aligned to the current market. We are also committed to our Guiding Principles, which include developing our people, so it is great to hear you have opportunities to grow your career. Although a healthy work-life balance can be difficult to maintain, our CEO has emphasized it as a company priority and has communicated his full support across the organization. While recruiting is challenging everywhere right now, we have made significant improvements within our Talent Acquisition department and continue to onboard new talent every day.
