So sad to see Denver Water go down the drain (pun not intended)

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, smart talented employees, great mission

Cons

"Continuous Improvement" program is slowly destroying everything that was once great about Denver Water - organizations obviously need continuous improvement, but the way this program operates is ridiculous and is causing great people to leave; no room for advancement; often employees who identify problems are branded as negative and get a target placed on their backs

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, great work/life balance

Cons

Poor morale, dated technology stack. I recall management saying that meetings couldn't have free coffee or doughnuts because they were worried about the local news reporting of employees getting too many perks. Now all I hear about is the news reporting on the five and six figure bonuses they are receiving.
