Pros

-Responsibilities from day 1 for all engineers ( whichsometimes turns into 50-60 hour weeks) -Reasonable pay out of the gate (other companies catch up quickly after a few years of experience) -Good Benefits (dental, health, optical, etc) -Community involvement -Integrated internship/rotational program to attract new talent -Emphasis on flexibility, safety, and family

Cons

-No centralized "training program." Expects senior employees of each group to carve time out of their busy days to train interns and rotational program employees year over year over year. -New management expects workers to devote 24/7 to the company for no monetary incentives (Oil/Energy hours for less a lot less money) -High turnover amongst young employees (35 or under) -Hit or miss when it comes to projects. Work can become very repetitive and niche. -No real career advancement opportunities unless you are willing to relocate to Allentown, PA -Dwindling market share that is beyond the control of engineering or operations

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.
