Pros

Excellent 401k, variety and type of customers you can work with, allows for fresh and creative ideas to drive growth. Upward mobility. Flexibility to make changes in staff to obtain the right candidates. Patrick Decker new CEO.

Cons

Slow pace of change, especially in respect to enterprise software, After the initial spin off the company it s still trying to find its footing. Restructuring was inevitable to weed out workers who were not technical enough, made too many mistakes, insubordinate, lazy....etc...There were some support staff that probably should have remained but didnt fit the organization moving forward. I would have kept those people and let them leave when they were ready. Some senior management are over their head and show depart. However, some new blood has emerged and its hopeful that good leadership will increase value for the firm.

Was great to work for ITT - the birth of Xylem ruined the company.

Pros

I did work with some great people, some of whom are still friends. Interesting work and a caring culture as ITT.

Cons

Incredibly political. As Xylem, very cold and uncaring towards the employees. Cut, cut, cut - yet people with questionable jobs or are total suck-ups remain. Lots of "peter principle" at the top.
