Pros

Transparency, confidence and clarity in the business strategy. Committment to technology, resource conservation and being active with SMART city initiatives.

Cons

Lots of change, while aligned with the business priorities - if you like to be a part of the design and problem solving, this is a great place for you - if you want it all laid out for you, in might not be.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, benefits are excellent, especially healthcare and 401k defined contribution by the company. Badger Meter always had a culture of excellent work life balance and flexibility for its employees, new upper management is committed to maintaining that culture while revamping continuous improvement initiatives. They have hired some great people that are actively trying to strike a balance between continuous improvement and accountability, and a flexible work environment. So far, their initiatives have been prudent and are making an already great place to work even better. I enjoy working with my team and am happy I have both the latitude and independence to have my opinions and ideas matter, as well as support from my manager when it comes to implementing change in processes. Generally people are friendly and are willing to help. New goal setting process was much needed. In the past there was a gap in communication between upper management, middle management and employees.

Cons

Still some large challenges ahead in terms of creating streamlined processes across all facilities, a natural problem in a growing company that has grown through acquisitions. Some of the systems are archaic and inefficient. Different segments of the company use different systems which make certain processes more time consuming than if industry standard ERP software was used.

Pros

Work/life balance was good. Nice flexibility for appointments, vacation and illness. Benefits were decent. Company is doing well.

Cons

The ability to move up in the company was dependent on how well you sucked up or who you were friends with. Most management I dealt with acted like they knew everything and did not trust those hired in their specified roles to know what they are talking about. It was there way or no way. Company needs to dedicate more resources to internal improvement vs. just growth, as the internal investments will eventually lead to growth. Change was slow to happen.
