Pros

The most recognized name in the pump business. I'd recommend work for a year or two to gain some good experience

Cons

You are just a number. I work in the Chesapeake office and can not think of one person who is happy with their job. It is a very political environment with people talking behind others backs all the time. Everyone is overworked and unappreciated. Its very hard to get a promotion, as there seems to be a lot of competetion.

Pros

Stable employment and steady salaries. Employees are celebrating their 45th work anniversaries left and right. Do you job and you will always have a job. Restructuring happens, however rarely. The intellectual property owned by the plant ensures that Flowserve isn't going away for a long, long time.

Cons

Old school corporate culture. Resistance to WFH without a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), in the name of "company culture." Unpredictable jerking between calling back to the office and WFH allowance. Sometimes WFH double standard intra-department without a solid justification.

Pros

Great culture and exciting goals.

Cons

Difficulty working in silos across facilities due to systems being different and not integrated into common system upon mergers.
