Product Safety and Compliance

June 2019 • Wickliffe, OH

What I liked

Great company and wonderful experience in the working world. Expanded my network and resume, made some great friends. The great pay helps too.

What I wish was different

School had been more lenient towards working with me seeing as I’m working a full time job essentially while taking classes — aka making more classes available online, etc.

Advice

If you have the opportunity to dip your feet in what it’s like to work for a large corporation definitely do it. It can help you figure out what you want to do with your life. You’ll expand your network either way.

Intern - Commercial (Chemtool, Inc.)

May - August 2017 • Rockton, IL

What I liked

Hours were generally flexible (around a 40 hour, 8-5, hour lunch, plan - e.g. coming in early most days, leaving early on Friday, etc.) and the people were great and very easy to work with. Clear on expectations, helpful when needed too. Lots of interesting work, good exposure to different facets of the company.

What I wish was different

Took a week or so to get the first meaningful assignment, one project out of 5 was a little tedious.

Advice

Just work hard and talk to as many people as you can!

Research and Development Summer Intern

June - August 2017 • Brecksville, OH

What I liked

The open-ended nature of the itnernship: my research mentors let me design and perform my own experiments, order my own chemicals, etc.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had more collaboration: a lot of the work I was doing was by myself. I wish there was a team of researchers I could work with instead.

Advice

I would say they should take advantage of the many different employees at Lubrizol, and talk to those that have jobs that interest you.

Mech E CoOp

May - August 2018 • Wickliffe, OH

What I liked

Hands on experience with both independent and group work. Participated in projects that affected company on a grander scheme. Learned about both automotive engineering practices and working as an engineer as a whole.

What I wish was different

More opportunities to meet upper staff and managers.

Advice

Do not overload yourself. Lubrizol's CoOp experience is very much a full time job, and working a side job along with the program can prove to be very stressful.

Chemistry Intern

May - August 2018 • Brecksville, OH

What I liked

Great group of people to work with. Learned a lot about physical applications of chemistry. Fun, new experience with digital ink allowed me to see the adventurous and creative side of science.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more interns my age to work alongside.

Advice

Be careful taking a chemistry lab opportunity as an engineer. For an internship it shouldn't be a problem, but I met a few OSU chemical engineers who worked at Lubrizol as chemists even years after graduation. They took the lab job for their first job, and now they have been cornered into that field, and companies who want engineers don't want them because they only have experience in a lab.

Chemical Engineering co-op

May - August 2018 • Bowling Green, OH

What I liked

The projects I worked on had a measurable impact on the company, and they were challenging as well. I was treated almost as though I was a full time engineer, and was expected to seek out and utilize resources myself to help move the projects forward. If I got stuck, however, my supervisor was always willing to help. This experience stretched and improved both my technical and workplace abilities.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions or bounce ideas off of co-workers, but be respectful of their time.

Metalworking Co-op

May 2021 • Wickliffe, OH

What I liked

The experience was a great learning opportunity and I was surprised by how much I really did get out of the summer. My co-workers were friendly and easy to work with and the labs were very nice as well.

What I wish was different

There were some personnel issues that increased the workload but besides for that it was overall a positive experience.

Advice

I would highly recommend living closer to the plant if possible and using the housing money that the company provides you with to shorten the commute.
