Pros

Overall great colleagues at Xylem. Somehow the company manages to continually attract good, knowledgable people. The watermark (volunteerism) push is good.

Cons

Depending on the part of the business you are in, and your manager - you can encounter a very toxic work environment. Turnover in one group i was in was extremely high over a few years (60-70%) due to the stress of 'getting it done' while being chronically overstaffed. Several were fired for being hostile towards coworkers (particularly females). Negotiate a higher salary starting out - once you're in the company you're subject to 'standard' raises no matter how stellar your performance is.
