Pros

Most people are very nice. Benefits are good. Time off at holidays wonderful.

Cons

You have to be a follower, not a leader. Completely risk averse. Nice, respectful demeanor of managers and above masks nasty back stabbing and set up for failure. Very hard to move projects forward as decisions keep being changed.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, lots of holidays off, year end shutdown.

Cons

Low pay. Lots of office politics. Your merit increase is based on how well you are liked - not how well you perform. If you don’t fit the Swagelok mold you will have a hard time advancing. It’s almost looked down upon to be an external hire.
