Being an Electrical Engineer at a chemical company has its problems. Most level of management are Chemical Engineers and they don't understand anything electrical and certainty not software. They tend to hire mostly non college grads and groom them to take on more responsibility. This works for only a few truly smart people where as the rest of them get feelings of grandeur and that they are equal to a degree holder. Employees who make recommendations for improving things get branded as winy but outside consultants, who make the same recommendations are hailed as visionaries. If you are an underachiever who would fit in well in a government job then Air Products would be a good place to work.
