What Our People Say

"The work environment here is much less stressful compared to other manufacturing plants I’ve worked with. The engineering team and the production line operate in such a calm and composed manner. Another thing that stood out to me is the discipline within the team. Everyone comes to work and leaves on time, yet still being productive, which is pretty new to me, especially within a similar industry. This, to me, reflects what true work-life balance looks like."
Muhammad Ruzaini
Senior Test Engineer
"I really enjoy the culture at MKS.  The flexibility in working hours and a hybrid model make it very helpful for employees with global roles, where meetings can happen late at night or early in the morning. What I appreciate most is how nice and helpful colleagues are, even those from different regions."
Jessica Tan
Senior Network Analyst
"One of the biggest strengths of working at MKS is the genuine work-life balance. This isn’t just a claim, it’s something I’ve experienced myself, and I’ve seen it reflected across our teams in other countries as well. The environment is supportive and largely stress-free, which makes it easy to stay motivated. On top of that, we are technically advanced, with strong expertise in handling complex products. For me, that combination of work-life balance and technical excellence makes MKS a great place to work."
Muhammad Anwar
Senior Test Engineer
"At MKS, I really value the flexibility that allows for a healthy work-life balance. My manager and team are very supportive and understanding, even though we are based in different locations. The culture on-site is also very friendly and welcoming. Even the HR and finance team would go out of their way to help, which makes my day-to-day work smoother."
Tharvina Marathan
Global Supplier Senior Specialist
"One of the reasons I joined MKS was the culture I observed during my recruitment process. All the hiring managers are genuinely supportive and respectful. Moving alone from Kuala Lumpur to Penang for the job wasn’t easy, but my colleagues and manager made the transition smooth. I also value the work-life balance here. Coming from a very fast-paced environment, it meant a lot when my boss reminded us during a project to not focus on doing things fast, but to focus on doing them right. That was a perfect epitome of how MKS really care about our well-being."
George Kalang Balan
Senior Marketing & Communications Specialist
"MKS is one of the best companies I’ve worked with so far. They’re willing to invest in training their employees. During my training in Shenzhen, everyone has been friendly and supportive, despite being in different teams. What impressed me the most was that MKS Malaysia even planned a cultural training for employees from different countries, to help us communicate better across diverse backgrounds. To me, MKS really stands out for its positive and inclusive culture."
