      Cultural Disaster

      Pros

      In office gym and cafe

      Cons

      Lack of communication and alignment of leadership leads to tension nearly everywhere. Mass departures directly reflect culture being less than poor. Leadership is not visible nor do they drive accountability. HR solely supports the business while surpressing escalations of a work enviornment with documented sexual harrassment and employees who openly lash out on one another. No opportunity or support for growth. DEI doesn't exist in operations - women should especially avoid opportunties here, but any employment at Waters is a setback to all careers.

      Awful culture of blame for past sins

      Principal project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm fully remote, so no commute and the flexibility associated with this.

      Cons

      You're never allowed to be off. You are blamed for product mistakes and a refusal to invest in research and innovation for 20+ years with no power or budget to change anything about it. If you try new things, you will get encouraged to leave.

      Pros

      At this point I'm honestly not sure.

      Cons

      I've seen Waters come off the rails in the past several years. Management has turned over and the present team is oddly detached. Several live out-of-state, none routinely walk through the facility. They manage in a style that seems bizarrely uninformed by the past 40 years of "paradigm shifts," dictating deadlines without providing the tools or manpower needed to meet them. Meeting paperwork deliverables is paramount. And you can forget about group lunches or other team building activities, heck they even dropped trash collection.
