Pros

Company was founded on an innovative concept: of looking at and delivering a simple product in a unique way. There has been a "founders pride" evident there for many years. Company has a strong global presence - works hard to maintain a one-company view while respecting regional and local norms.

Cons

Headquarters is a bit too "US Centric" and even "Allentown, PA-centric". Too many managers competing instead of collaborating. A culture that encourages doing it right the first time versus risk taking impedes innovation. Need to find a balance.

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.
