Pros

Good work location in Tulsa, good benefits

Cons

Top heavy/Management Heavy company, Management (even senior management) do not have sufficient technical skills to be in process plant engineering business, Too many quality improvement programs over the years which could not implement, Promotes employees to management level who are lacking experience, Influence from Linde Germany attempts to bypass North American Codes and Standards, Former Linde CEO Buchelle closed down and caused layoff of many employees, New LENA President is acting the same way, Wasted a lot of my professional career years working for them to point of getting seriously ill, Only people happy are Germans who are protected by their unions, Tulsa office bound to close, All US work going to India

Pros

Great pay, benefits, most of the people were great.

Cons

German owned, different culture and way of doing things. High stress at times, not much local leadership. Too much to do, and never enough time to do it. Three significant layoffs in last 1-1/2 years. No sales for Tulsa Natural Gas division in the 3 years I worked there. Supported efforts in Munich and east coast sales groups mostly using their engineering methodologies and tools.

Pros

Money was good, also the pension plan that carried over from BOC was good.

Cons

Different rules for different drivers. The same rules for say a 20 yr seniority driver where different for less seniority drivers. Case in point... Truck leaves the yard and returns with a $10,000 scrape along the tank, driver 1 says he missed it on his pre-trip. Nothing done. Driver 2 backs into a customer fence causing under $25 damage, gets three days off. Difference? Driver 1 had 25 yrs experience. Driver 2 had under 12.
