Pros

The 6 month training program, teaches you all you need to know and gives you a bunch of friends also just starting their careers, additionally they make it very clear that there are lots of chances to change career paths and move around if you get into the field and it isn’t right for you

Cons

You won’t know where you are living at the end of the training program till about 3 months in and the possibilities are constrained by open positions, however they do take your preferences into account and everyone got their first choice location in my training class

Pros

Good company, decent salary for Ohio area, timken likes to takes care of its employee, room for growth, good culture and management

Cons

Super old industry, very oldschool, outdated technology if you visit US plants, living in Canton OH is terrible, a dead town! I do not think any young engineer can last living more than a year over there!
