Pros

Close to home, full time steady work, long term employment.

Cons

Its been a year since Xylem purchased Sensus and they still don't know who is on first. I am disappointed that no real change has come. Everything is the same as it was.

Pros

If you're still employed at Xylem, then I guess at least you still have a job. This is the only good thing I can think of at the moment.

Cons

- Very high staff turnover. - Unrealistic goals and expectations ("180M by 2018"...wishful thinking) and lacks long-term goals. - Lack in-house expertise due to high turnover, with many experienced people leaving the company. - Confusing corporate identity or lack of. - Lots of people who seem to do nothing to contribute being shuffled around from one position to the next over the years, while hard-working employees having to constantly justify their existence. - Very unprofessional practice when it comes to implementing redundancies. - Lack of any career development & opportunity.

Pros

There are a good bunch of hard working people still left at Xylem that still strive to do their job to the best they possibly can. Pay scales in all departments are reasonable. Good benefits, health care, pension as well as others.

Cons

Constant uncertainty due to continued restructuring of the business. There's no feel of one Xylem, it feels like each department operates independently and it feels like a battle to work with certain departments.
