Pros

The CEO & Company vision are amazing. Their goals are progressive and achievable while also giving back to communities all over the world with the Xylem Watermark program. I cannot say enough good things about watermark.

Cons

On a functional level, there is a real lack of respect for people, lack of coaching and mentoring by/for management, and lack of direction and processes. So much extra work is done that isn't needed. This company has a lot of potential, but I think it will continue to have high turnover rates if they don't address their lack of respect for the people of the company and mentoring.

Pros

The products are of high quality, are serviced well, and compete effectively in the market. Team members are hard working, loyal, and with many years of knowledge in the market.

Cons

Top management is not transparent in communications, and had created many layers of management. Key decisions are made with little or no input from from plants; it is a top-down approach, so individual performance and the future potential of each plant is taken into account. Strategic input from plants is essential to success. 360 degree reviews are not well implemented and acted on, and turnover at all levels, but especially middle management, is too high.
