Pros

The Finance community offers a lot of good diverse jobs with which to work in. Work Life balance is pretty good. Benefits are good. Part of an oligopoly market so most likely won't go away anytime soon. Has two cafeterias and one fitness center and a health center on its main campus. Job security - have to be an idiot to get fired.

Cons

Senior management is poor at best. The company succeeds in spite of management. Its common to hear that this person got promoted because they are a friend of John McGlade. Company is not growing organically and in fact losing market share to its competitors. The culture is akin to stepping into a time warp back to the 1980's. Too much dead weight in the Finance organization prevents younger talent from moving up. Location - best part about Allentown is its proximity to Philly and New York City.

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.
