non-cryogenic means of air separation, and since then has continued
to introduce innovative applications technologies for various
industries. The company has over 4,000 patents and pending

Достоинства: Возможно появятся в будущем. Недостатки: Несмотря на американские корни компании, работают с персоналом очень грубо и жестко, по-азиатски. Недавно ввели обязалово !!! подписать Согласие на обработку персональных данных "в целях оценки профессиональных, деловых и личных качеств" для какого-то "ООО ОЧДП Альфа Информ и любым др. третьим лицам без ограничения" (идеальный инструмент подбора компромата на любого сотрудника с его личного согласия).
