When I first joined Waters, I was genuinely excited about the company, but the past few years have been challenging. There's little opportunity for professional growth, as management doesn't prioritize employee development or training. The lack of a clear career path is particularly evident for women in Operations. Out of all the Directors in Global Operations, only four are women, with just one based in the U.S.
While the company frequently discusses diversity, equity, and inclusion, these values aren’t reflected in meaningful actions. Raising concerns with HR often leads to being dismissed rather than heard.
Additionally, the benefits are merely average, and this year, we didn’t receive raises or bonuses.
