      Pros

      The vision is solid, the products are amazing, it feels amazing to work for a company with so much potential. It really helps make a positive difference in the world.

      Cons

      Complex, Complex. Complex. Decision making is slow and confusing. Unable to move fast. Flavor of the month type of leadership.

      Too many chiefs, not enough braves.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Steady, varying work. Good benefits package including tuition reimbursement and career development. A high degree of industry leading technology at your disposal. Highly technical business to become involved with.

      Cons

      Opportunities to advance are drying up. When it used to be a part of ITT, you got out of it what you put in. Now that it is a pure water play company with new Senior Executives, share holder wishes take precedence and profit is the only goal. Greedily jumped at the "Emerging Markets" without any notion of what obstacles lay ahead. Ethics become blurred when dealing in the Emerging Market arena. Organization has become top-heavy to the tune of 60% greater work force than before--mostly new management and "idea guy" positions. The increase in employees has NOT resulted in increased business or market share. Company has only grown inorganically through acquisition of other water industry companies. Twice the amount of revenue used to be achieved with about half of the current work force.

      Racist toward people of color

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is no opportunity to move up in this company.

      Cons

      You will do everything beyond what your job description says. There’s no point in speaking up for yourself you will just get backlash.
