Air Products Shared Services Sdn. Bhd.

Company is big with a lot of people. Enviorment in each department could be very different. Working hour could be long.

Advancement is limited if one is not in the "Air Products" mould, people taking credit for the work and ideas of others is the norm (and expected?). Essential that one emulates the cockrell on a dung heap - crowing to attract attention - "increasing ones profile" in AP speak. There is only one point of view and how things are done and that is the "Air Products WAY"!

slightly lacks organisation and HR relations should be improved

Has had to adopt a "low cost" policy so some of the things that made it a superior company to work for have had to go for the time being, i.e. travel has to be low cost, expenses are watched very carefully

Really bad HR department, management not up to standard.

Company is going through a significant leadership change, but will hopefully emerge from it as a better company. Leadership is currently lacking.

1. Salary in lower hierarchy . 2. Manpower is less in projects, so work load is more. 3. Groupings same as all other companies.

There are many Vice Presidents in the company. What is the purpose of this? The gap between those who are experienced and those who are still new is large. Many are expected to perform at the caliber that they are neither prepared nor trained for.

APCI businesses are highly competitive and relatively low dollar, causing downward pressure on wages and benefits. There is a select "good old boy" network alive and well for those who do get the big jobs and perks. Most of the population attended a handful of PA schools, so it has a distinct fraternity feeling in the management ranks. Fortunately, it has been broken up by hiring Seifi Ghasemi, an outsider.

I did not really experience any cons with this company. Unfortunately, due to corporate restructuring I lost my job there last year (2014).
