Pros

Xylem NL has a great community of dedicated workers that have allot of practical experience. The company is practical, invest in employee development (recent) and allows more flexible hours than in the past. It has a proven track record and beautiful durable product which it delivers to its customers nationwide. It innovations and works together with its local community to develop jobs and create opportunities for students. It has the watermark programme that helps people in third world countries develop in water avialability and knowledge.

Cons

The company needs to develop a better outlook for employees. Due the size of the company, making a career is rather difficult. The levels of knowledge required compared to the job demands are much lower. Sometimes management is a black box whereas new candidates can help management to develop itself further.

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 Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak.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.
