Salary Interview Tips Working Hours Best & WorstWhat are the best and worst things about your job?
A great place to work, good culture and very friendly. Hersham has a lot of grads and placement students so it is very social. Quick transport links to get into London easily. Grad scheme is very well organised, you are given real responsibility with work that matters. Excellent opportunities to interact with high up people in the company, as well as to get involved with the CDP Council, 2020-2030 Sustainability Plan and STEM outreach events. You get to choose your roles for 2nd and 3rd year so can tailor the grad scheme to what you want to get out of it. They are handling the Covid-19 situation very well, with no job losses or pay cuts and are allowing us to carry holiday over until next year.

Being able to influence where your work is taken, there are a lot of opportunities as to the path that can be taken and I am in control of the development I make.

What are the best and worst things about your job?
The best thing about my current role is that it involves a variety of interesting tasks, and changes day-to-day. Sometimes it is practical, operating machines, changing components, running experiments, visiting contractors workshops; sometimes more computer based, analysing data, modifying drawings, preparing instruction manuals. There is enough to keep it feeling fresh and interesting, while still allowing enough time to build competence.

The other graduates are great, and plenty of social stuff happens through work.

Answer the situational questions honestly. Air Products is all about diversity of opinion and having people who think about things in a different way. They want a range of perspectives and experiences, it enriches the company.
Interview Advice:
During the technical interview, if you don't know the answer to something tell them, ask them to explain some concepts, and then try to tie it in with your own understanding. It's much better to admit you aren't sure and work through the problem with them to understand, than waffling nonsense or sitting there in silence!

Maintenance Project Engineer, Customer Engineering at Air ProductsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Apply early, and pay attention to the company competencies from the website.
Interview Advice:
The video interview is a mixture of soft skill questions first followed by some more technical ones to finish. For those try to show your thought process as much as possible and try to keep some breadth in the factors you consider. The interview during the assessment centre begins with a presentation on a past project you've worked on, but it's good to draw out links with AP from this if you can. The technical questions that follow are on a range of topics, so my advice there would be to be familiar with what AP does and the areas of your course that might be most relevant.

Languages help a lot, especially Dutch, French, Spanish, or German. Any experience involving teamwork is important. Show off your problem solving and communication skills.
Interview Advice:
Show confidence but not arrogance. Failure is alright as long as you can show that you learned from the experience and grew from it. Think out loud to make sure they know what's going through your head as that's what they're interested in.
Look up what the company does and how it does it! Air Products does mostly cryogenic separation so make sure you know something about how it's done and how it works.
In the team activity in the assessment centre, show initiative. Propose ideas and debate other people's with them. Be involved and don't wait around for other people to do the activity for you.

Application Advice:
Make sure you review the company in as much detail as you can from the website and other sources. Pay particular attention to company values, it can be really helpful if you can factor in examples where you've shown them into your application.
It's also very important to talk to people during the assessment centre, and genuinely try to get a sense of what they do and what the people you'll be working with are like. The grads that will be around during the day really aren't assessing you in any formal capacity (I promise!) and everyone's friendly, so feel free to have chats about the kinds of projects they're working on and so forth. If nothing else it'll help you relax, and if any of the assessors do notice you being less nervous than the others it can only be a good thing during their final decision meeting.
Interview Advice:
The video interview is a tricky format to get right, so make sure to use the practice button to do a couple of sample questions to get camera position/lighting etc sorted. Don't worry too much about the background - make sure it's clean, tidy and professional, and without anybody else in it, but other than that most things should be fine. It's much more important to take it when you're relaxed and not too stressed, that kind of stuff comes across badly. I remember there being a number of soft-skill questions and then a couple of technical ones at the end. Nothing too detailed is required, they mostly want to know how you would go through a problem, so talk them through the process you would follow and any key decisions you might have to make. Again, subtly showing you're considering competencies would be a good thing - I did it completely by accident, and I think it showed me in good stead!
The face to face interview during the assessment centre required you to prepare a presentation, so make sure to choose something you've worked on that you're genuinely interested in and try to tie it to AP in some way. There's also a fairly lengthy technical component, but the assessors are pretty good at talking you around places where you get stuck so don't get too hung up on individual errors or bits you don't know - nobody gets it perfectly, that's sort of the point.

Interview Advice:
Be sure to know the fundamentals of refrigeration. Learn about how cryogenic fluids behave and what safety measures are put in place to avoid failures. Show confidence, usually the simple answer is the correct one. Think logically towards business related questions be sure to demonstrate that you understand that Air Products is a business and therefore it needs to make profit. Make sure that you are heard in the assessment centre but also show that you are willing to listen and consider other options.

Process Engineer, at Air ProductsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
All the roles that I have been in (3 so far) required a great deal of working flexibility. There are certainly office type jobs within air products but the best ones require you to be content with being on the road and packed up with very short notice.
This is not to be viewed negatively in my opinion as it helps you, learning to deal with the challenges of adapting quickly whilst planning the job in unpredictable conditions.
Interview Advice:
There is a lot of pressure when undertaking an interview and I remember my own very well. But try to relax. It is harder done than said but to be your best over a couple of hours is much simpler when you are not constantly worrying about the end result. Be yourself.

You will get your chance to talk and expand on the topics at the later stage, while application must only get the company interested in you.
Interview Advice:
Be social and do not give up at any stage. The way you react to your mistakes often is much more important than the actual mistakes. Also, make sure you do not repeat yourself or talk too long on the same topic - you only get a certain time, and you surely want to cover as much as possible of your knowledge and experience!

EDP, S&OP at Air ProductsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Your CV should be to-the-point and relevant; a skills-based CV spanning two sides of A4 would be most appropriate. You should touch upon personal compentencies, but these will be discussed in more detail at the interview stage.
Given the option, a covering letter should be submitted in conjunction with the CV. It is important to clearly set out who you are, your background, your interests in the company and industry as a whole, why you think your compentencies are in strong alignment with those required at the company, and also give a brief outline of your experiences and achievements.
Interview Advice:
Think hard about experiences you've had where you've had to demonstrate teamwork.. as well as positive leadership. Try to sell yourself as someone who is responsible and keen to take on challenges. Also, be honest and up-front about areas in which you think you could improve upon, but show your willingness and commitment to improving yourself.
Specific advice would be to research thoroughly what it is the company does; show that you're enthusiastic and that you have the knowledge and ability to bring something to the company. Brush-up on your technical knowledge as well!

Application Advice:
Try to stand out in your CV, show yourself through it. Such as interests and your personality. Obviously include the important stuff as well though such as A levels, predicted degree level, past experience etc etc.
Interview Advice:
For the interview I would make sure you are aware of the thermodynamic cycles, properties of materials and engineering drawings. Otherwise in the interview don't freeze up, just say what you think and if you aren't sure say so, but follow it up with what you think the answer is and why (so they can see what you are thinking).

Application Advice:
Application for the graduate role was quite easy, just a CV and covering letter. Just ensure you make it clear that you have similar interests and skills relevant to the company.
Interview Advice:
My interview went very well; it consisted of an assessment day where I had to present my PhD work to a number of managers, personal interview (related to your cv), technical interview and a group activity at the end. Technical interview consisted of back to basic type problems. Technical interview and group activity were more about the way you approach things, rather than the result.

Great place to work with a good culture and management. I have only worked at Air Products for around 6 months, but everyone seems happy and they look after you well. Lots of opportunities for international work and career progression, if you are proactive about it.
Worst:
There is a bit too much work for the number of people so you are very busy. I believe they are having a recruitment drive though. Work life balance for senior management doesn't seem to be as good as it is for the grads.

It is a large and well establish company so it has the funds and the connections to spend the time investing in and training graduates.
Worst:
Cost saving measures have reduced non-business critical travel so it is possible to never get to meet people in your own team as people are spread across the country, which can make it quite hard to get to know people and build good relationships.

Jobs frequently contracted out, while the number of internal people capable of doing them decline; happy to lose skills in some areas perhaps.

It has a well established Grad Scheme, so there are people in Senior positions now that started where I am. It's encouraging to have these people be your mentors and sponsors, as it gives you something to aspire too. I also think there's always something new on the horizon in terms of technology and development - new acquisitions and new investment, which is always encouraging
Worst:
I feel that for a while, Air Products wasn't really taking care of a lot of its employees the way it used to - in that there was a bit of a lack of clarity and trust when introducing certain business decisions. I think it is getting better for sure, but it still has a little way to go.

A lot of work is on-site which may require travelling and the main headquarters is located in surrey, which make the living index higher. But there are other smaller sites strewn across the country and does allow the staff to cover and visit other sites for rounded experience.

There were quite a few redundancies a few years ago (before I joined), and it now seems there aren't really enough of us for the number of projects coming through. They are hiring heavily to fix the problem, but it will obviously take time before workloads drop off a bit!
