Pros

Middle management was very good to me. Plenty of overtime maybe too much. Vacation and PTO time is very good.

Cons

CEO and upper management changed 3 times in 17 years last 5 has been the worst new guy comes in then brings in all of his people and changes everything. Since new CEO took over Waters is extremely Corporate!! All about the shareholders not the employees like they would like you to think. Turn over has been extremely high last 3 years or longer.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re grateful for all your contributions over the years. It’s great to hear that you’ve found great managers at Waters, as well as a strong work/life balance. It’s important to us that our employees get the chance to disconnect and spend time doing what they love. While our shareholders are important to our success, it all starts with our employees. It’s vital that our workforce feels trusted and respected. We value your feedback and appreciate the energy and effort you’ve given during your tenure with us.

Pros

Good pay, nice people at most sites globally

Cons

CEO is out of touch and is obviously prioritizing non-American work force to reduce costs. These changes are resulting in a toxic work culture from top down.
