Pros

A lot of good people working here.

Cons

Outsourcing too much design work to India and running with too little design and engineering staff in Kalamazoo. Quality is really suffering at the expense of speed. Nexus is a really poor PLM system. It has hurt productivity significantly and caused employees immense frustration.

Pros

Stable employment and steady salaries. Employees are celebrating their 45th work anniversaries left and right. Do you job and you will always have a job. Restructuring happens, however rarely. The intellectual property owned by the plant ensures that Flowserve isn't going away for a long, long time.

Cons

Old school corporate culture. Resistance to WFH without a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), in the name of "company culture." Unpredictable jerking between calling back to the office and WFH allowance. Sometimes WFH double standard intra-department without a solid justification.

Pros

Great culture and exciting goals.

Cons

Difficulty working in silos across facilities due to systems being different and not integrated into common system upon mergers.
