I took the job with Yokogawa today. They bumped up the salary a tad bit and I asked for a company shirt for my younger brother and they hooked me up with a tee for him and a dress shirt for me, pretty sweet.
I start on the 21st. I appreciate all the input guys, thanks a bunch.

Ok, so tomorrow is the big decision day. I tell CSC thanks for the offer but I am going to go with Yokogawa. And I tell Yokogawa that I want more money I will ask for 55k see if they bump their offer up a bit. I've read that I shouldn't pit the two companies against one another in the salary...
Keith,
My point wasn't that I felt that I couldn't learn or fit into the work environment. It was that the engineers with ChemE backgrounds didn't realize that in addition to being an EE I've taken fluids and thermo classes (I would think this is more relevant to batch/process than chemistry)...
Came away from the interview Friday with Yokogawa feeling pretty good, should hear from them early next week. I did however catch a lot of questions about how as an EE I would fit into the Process/Batch controls arena.
That's what I'd like to ask you guys. Do you feel that process/batch...
Controlnovice,
That makes sense. I've been going over those types of questions extensively and using the STAR method and all the stuff the career dept. usually throws at you. This seems like a pretty good resource...
They gave me another week to decide, didn't ask any questions.
Now to focus on the interview on friday. They said I'd interview with some engineering teams and the project lead for a couple of hours. I have no idea what they might ask. The interview with the other company was more them letting...
I came across a blurb that said Omron was #1 in Japan.
I'm facing a dilemma now. The company with whom I have an offer wants to know something tomorrow (Wednesday). I have to figure out what approach to take in asking them for 1 more week to decide.
I have this interview with the Japanese...
Thanks for the continued input guys. I have an interview with a Japanese industrial controls company this Friday. It is for an entry level controls engineer position and they have teams of engineers since their concentration is designing / simulating / implementing batch process control in...
Wow guys, I really appreciate the input. Thank you controlnovice and Ashereng for your thoughtful posts. I think I'm comfortable accepting their offer as is, but will prod them for a bit more before accepting.
I look forward to learning and contributing to these boards in the future.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your input. This is my first job offer and I graduate this August.
The carrot they keep dangling is that as an entry level engineer I will get 3 6month performance evals and each time I have a chance to get a 10% raise. So if all goes well in 18 months I could...
Got offered a position as a Controls Engineer with a fairly large ($18 billion) tech company that has fingers in lots of pies, mainly IT but has this engineering division. Job location is in a large town (250k pop.) in rural south GA.
They're offer is 48k plus from what I can tell decent...
