Pros

Employee stock option might be the only positive aspect about Swagelok

Cons

Way too many downsides to working at Swagelok. Management plays favorites to brown-nosers. Not enough accountability on set-up personnel and supervisors. Unrealistic expectations on lower-level associates. No work/life balance. No real advancement opportunities unless you are buddies with a supervisor.

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.
