Pros

The benefits are substantial. 401K without a vesting period is unique. Salary employees enjoy "unlimited" FTO. If the division I worked in treated employees the way I believe senior leadership envisions, if there were clearly defined career paths and annual reviews, Xylem would be a fantastic organization to work at.

Cons

The division I work in is corrupt; there is no other way to define it. Senior leadership talks poorly about others during meetings, threatening people's jobs in front of others. Zero training because they never received any, so why should you? No annual reviews. No career path. I asked my boss once about upward mobility, and he stated, "When one of us dies," how draconian. However, they do have a clear "chain of command" and never talk up the chain of command that they will give you feedback on. Directors call employees grunts. One can safely assume they view managers as glorified grunts. In a word, toxic.

Pros

Good products and many opportunities.

Cons

This company only cares about the revenue they bring in and appeasing the shareholders. They do not care about their workers in the slightest and have gotten rid of as many people possible to save money while the ones left are doing the work of two to three people. Any new positions made are for middle management, and no one at that level serves much of a purpose. They do exactly what the big-wigs tell them and don't stand up for their direct reports what so ever. Also the pay is almost embarrassingly low.

Pros

It's like the little stepping stone in the river if a career. It can be used to bounce to the bigger stone. >There are some great people there.

Cons

It's a slippery and small stone. You might not want to stay there too long. The water could rise. >There are some not so great people there.
