Pros

Good company that is well recognized by wall-street, smart people work there, lots of ex-military there as well in leadership - very political

Cons

Not sure who they are after getting burned with Airgas fiasco - top down culture-open & honest (say what's on your mind) communication doesn't exist here, sales reps have weekly itinerary reports they have to do because national sales manager didn't like the ride with rep---very micro-managed right now. Also going thru a blood letting process of taking very intelligent well qualifed technical reps, eliminating their positions thru poor reviews & replacing them with entry level reps who know nothing of industry. Either this is major cost cutting efforts or they're getting ready to sell off a bunch of plants....changing to commodity business rather than value sell

Pros

I learned a lot from the teams I worked with over my tenure. If I was particularly interested in learning about certain parts of the business, I was often allowed to tackle those challenges. Mentors were very helpful and encouraging. I enjoyed the people I worked with and they always tried to open doors into other parts of the company I was interested in.

Cons

If you want to be doing mostly pure mechanical design work, there is less of that available at Air Products. Lots of opportunities for operations, project management, and EPC roles for mechanical engineers, and pressure vessel work from my perspective. In the initial round of placements, you get matched to one team (you can join or not) — it was not exactly my cup of tea from a day to day work perspective. Second round, I was able to join a team where I absolutely loved doing the day to day work.
