Pros

Air Products is really good with helping you figure out where you fit best in the company. Moving around the company is encouraged and this is one of the only places where engineers dont just have to work an engineering job to make the company better. Air Products has a really helpful CDP program (Career Development Program) where you go through a three year process when you get hired to determine where you fit best. You switch locations and positions every year for three years and then at the end you can choose where you want to start off officially in the company. All the people I met there were extremely nice and pleasant to work with! Pay is very good and I really enjoyed this company overall! They give their interns meaningful projects and want you to contribute and innovate new ideas for the company! They treat you like a full time employee which I found to be very nice.

Cons

Recently got a new CEO and cuts are being made to reorganize the company. Stability in the job isn't as good as it is made out to be, at least for the next year or so until everything is figured out. Location of Air Products HQ in Allentown, PA is not the best, kind of boring and not much to do.

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.
