Pros

I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas which has allowed me to be successful in my current role. Samtec allows associates to find their own path and then work towards that.

Cons

Sometimes things are too off-the-cuff. We are a flat organization but could use a little more structure.

Pros

Lots of opportunity, in a high tech center, but with a laid back environment.

Cons

No more cons than any other place. Just have to stay flexible! Our DNA are boring I guess?

Pros

If you are a capable employee willing to invest in yourself, they do notice and reward personal growth. I started as an intern in "concrete land" (production) and moved up to "carpet land" (office) after college. I worked there for over a decade and was consistently promoted. Once you are employed at Samtec the job security is pretty strong. They offer furloughs and voluntary sabbaticals versus lay offs. When lay offs are necessary, they do offer severance packages.

Cons

Some [long-time] employees are content with doing just enough to get by. Because of the past compensation practices, it seemed to lower overall morale because why work hard when the company will let you get by with slacking? Many of the measurements of employee value were subjective.
