Painful... boring... poor management... old

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively diverse upper management, although very male-oriented. Starting to see some women and racial diversity in the senior ranks.

Cons

List is endless... - company is scared to grow. At its heart, this is a pump company. Don't believe the "solving water" gimmick. They make pumps. - competition is slaughtering Xylem while management sits around and builds powerpoint slides. a lot of powerpoint. - location is brutal and there was zero sympathy for employees who had to commute 1.5-2 hours each way. Every office in every city was this way. - highly highly highly political. you'll need thick skin. - almost ZERO opportunity for growth - professionally and financially. zero career opportunities and bonuses were miserable.
