Pros

Cons
• Xylem is a "young" company and still unorganized in many key functional areas. • (In San Diego) salary does reflect cost of living. • Health/dental benefits mediocre. • Not for those who are corporate-culture adverse. • No stock option or stock-purchasing incentive program for non-executive employees. • Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. • Needs to invest in R&D before technology becomes obsolete (see bullet point above).
