Pros

This is a good company to work for. In my experience, management seemed to really care about their employees. As an intern, much of the work seemed to be meaningful and needed to support the business. As a co-op they offer full tuition re-reimbursement if you work part time (20hrs a week) while attending school. This is a great deal, but can be challenging to work with classes.

Cons

The work seemed to be very repetitive. It is a connector company so unless you are in the high speed groups, the work seems pretty straight forward, not a lot of innovation. Tooling was also pretty repetitive, exciting for a bit but repetitive.

Pros

Samtec provides a relatively laid-back, comfortable environment to work in. As an engineering co-op, you have an opportunity to gradually gain more and more responsibilities through projects as you go. Your first rotation will be spent getting to know the company structure and day to day operations while also taking on at least one major project with the guidance of your supervisor. During your next rotations you are expected to take some responsibility for your own projects and work with the members of your hub. This allows you to feel like you have accomplished something before your time is up.

Cons

During the first few weeks as a co-op it can seem a little overwhelming. Part of that is due to Samtec's culture but it can also be somewhat intimidating. Never be afraid to ask questions.

Pros

The culture is very relaxed, and the people are great! The pay is good, the bonuses are amazing, and they pay for tuition. Very flexible with students as well.

Cons

Co-ops program started off a little unstructured. The evaluations were inconsistent in the beginning.
