Company is doing great things

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is trying to solve the word's water problems in a sustainable and profitable way -- a very good mission! Great volunteer and employee comradery through Watermark, their employee philanthropic organization. Great communication with employees about the business missions, milestones, accomplishments and business-related news.

Cons

The Corporate office HR has lost the human touch -- not enough embracing and developing diversity of talent, too much "screen time" rather than positive, authentic, constructive, collaborate human interaction.

Pros

Decent pay, benefits. The lighting on the assembly floors is adequate. The work areas aren't too cluttered.

Cons

Management has no respect for it's employees. Even if you've devoted your entire career to the company, they will show you the door at the drop of a hat. Then they will replace you with a youngster for less pay, even if they are barely qualified.

Business Outlook

Pros

• Surrounded by a great group of like-minded individuals who work towards providing the best solutions for scientists, researchers and water monitoring professionals around the globe. • Work with cutting edge technology. • Many opportunities for collaboration amongst divisions, offering access to professional growth and expansion of skills.

Cons

• Xylem is a "young" company and still unorganized in many key functional areas. • (In San Diego) salary does reflect cost of living. • Health/dental benefits mediocre. • Not for those who are corporate-culture adverse. • No stock option or stock-purchasing incentive program for non-executive employees. • Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. • Needs to invest in R&D before technology becomes obsolete (see bullet point above).
