Pros

Excellent benefits package including ESOP, 401K,as well as daily fruit, coffee, tea and soda. Good experience for interns and recent engineering graduates. Great people! A company you can be proud to work at.

Cons

Although they have tuition reimbursement, growth opportunities are limited without a college degree. On the job training can be great with the right trainer but online training leaves a lot to be desired. You are not assisted in your training and development plans but rather "required" to tell them what your weaknesses are and how "you" are going to improve them. I got tired of feeling like a failure even though I was looked up to by my peers for my accomplishments.

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.
