There’s a good amount of info on their website but I can’t find anything that talks about how big they are. Anybody know anyone that works there? Good place to work? Any eye candy? Er, I mean, opportunities for advancement? ---

It used to be Scott Air Pak. They made air packs for just about every fireman on the planet. I believe that business was sold(along with the name). They still make oxygen systems for planes, etc. They have been bought and sold a couple times in the last decade or so. ---

Unless Praxair pulls through between now and Monday I’ll be interviewing there Monday morning. Just wondering if anyone had any inside info. :snky: I talked to the recruiter since I posted this and found out that they’re ~$50 mill/year, \>200 people. Doesn’t sound too shabby. Worth using half a sick day to find out anyhow. :tup: ---
