Pros

-not too big/not too small -a lot of experience within the company (can be a con at times though) -passion for the water industry -good collaboration within your own team (but can be siloed within functions)

Cons

-a lot of processes need to be updated to drive efficiency instead of continuing with "how it's been done in the past" -product launches take much longer than expected and the messaging to the market is confusing with all of the delays -returning to the office felt rushed and the hybrid schedule doesn't seem to offer a lot of flexibility -due to COVID restrictions, most meetings are taken at your small cube with minimal in-person collaboration (doesn't feel different than when we were remote) -functions seem to butt heads more than work together to solve the customer's needs -most people stay in the same roles for years (often decades) -- promotions seem difficult to obtain -pay is significantly lower than other manufacturing/software companies

Pros

Decent benefits & long standing company. Some supportive departments and managers.

Cons

Depends which dept you work in but others are led by awful leadership. Micromanaging, meetings without clear direction, changing initiatives every few days, gossip, retaliation, very toxic environment. I would say really read the reviews of the department you are working in. Had I recognized early on just how horrible the service department was ran, I would never have joined this team.
