Badger Meter reviews

Management is narcissistic and very much in a group think mentality. CEO has a volatile temper and makes everyone fall in line.

Limited flexibility for remote work: While the CEO technically supports work-from-home and remote options, it’s clear he does not favor them, which can create a culture that feels resistant to flexibility. Lack of transparency in communication: Leadership provides updates, but they often feel incomplete or misleading. Employees hear surface-level statements like “We’re doing great, but there’s more work to do,” without clear context or the full story. Diversity in leadership needs improvement: Leadership roles are predominantly held by white men, and current diversity initiatives do not appear to be prioritized or treated as important. Office politics and favoritism: Certain individuals seem to advance or maintain their positions due to favoritism rather than performance. Middle management often lacks strong strategic thinking, which may stem from poor communication from the C-suite or gaps in leadership capability. Micromanagement and inconsistent treatment: At times, employees may feel singled out or overly scrutinized. Playing the “corporate game” seems necessary to avoid unnecessary pressure. Underlying personal politics: While leadership does not openly express political views, you can often read between the lines, which can create discomfort or a sense of exclusion for some employees.
