      Pros

      The best reason to work at Kennametal is that all employees treat each other as a family members. They help you with anything and everything. Managers recognize the work you do and give you the reward for the great work. You learn really interesting stuff at Kennametal that you wouldn't learn from any college.

      Cons

      They don't give out relocation housing allowances for interns/ co-op.

      Pros

      It's a very innovative company. It prides itself on hiring the best employees within their fields. I strives to be the best in its industry. Good people to work with, who always try to help in any way. They were also very personable.

      Cons

      The company is a little old school with their hierarchy structure. A lot of their processes in various departments are slow and bureaucratic. The location is also not too great if you want to be in a metropolitan area. The hiring process was a debacle. It was a bad first impression of how they conduct business. I also had very little direction. It didn't seem like my superiors thought about what to do with me before I got there.

      Pros

      You get to travel to several different companies, understand their best practices. Very wide range of products. Interaction with teams from around the world on a weekly basis

      Cons

      Long work hours, possibly on weekends too when travelling. The market is often price driven, rather than being quality driven.
