UOP used to be a firm that hired chemical engineers and trained them to be leaders in the industry. Many times quotations were direct between the client and long standing relationships built over years of trust. Leadership used to be someone that was 'known' in the industry versus the recent track record of hiring people with communications degrees or university of phoenix mba's.
UOP is now a website with an intake inquiry page, that gets filtered by some transient Honeywell person or even worse someone hired from GE to distribute.
Non of my co-workers are proud to be here any longer and it shows during our conversation with the customers.
