Pros

The CEO & Company vision are amazing. Their goals are progressive and achievable while also giving back to communities all over the world with the Xylem Watermark program. I cannot say enough good things about watermark.

Cons

On a functional level, there is a real lack of respect for people, lack of coaching and mentoring by/for management, and lack of direction and processes. So much extra work is done that isn't needed. This company has a lot of potential, but I think it will continue to have high turnover rates if they don't address their lack of respect for the people of the company and mentoring.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
