Pros

Flexibility is the only good thing which the company offers .You can broaden you skills and experience by working in different areas but it will be valued more outside the company.

Cons

Poor leadership, senior managers are not leaders. Promotions are a drag. Lateral career progress and no vertical migration. Lack of careee opportunities especially in UK. Salary and job grade is based on if you have a option outside.Best way to get a grade increase is to get an offer from outside not through good work .

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.
