Pros

Workload never ends Coworkers are pleasant Additional Training Benefits PTO

Cons

Some Engineers have been there too long and take advantage of the techs, which has made them slightly complacent and not up to date in the field. Some cannot communicate effectively or work SolidWorks.

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.
