Pros

Good people, teamwork, collaboration which is a great culture .

Cons

So many frequent Organization changes without careful consideration, pool leadership, Pretty much every function understaffed, but management team would rather spend millions of millions money on all kinds of consulting companies instead of adding staffs, they don’t trust employee’s feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Pentair has undergone several transformative changes in recent years to emerge as a pure-play water company, and worked hard to be transparent and minimize the impact of these changes with employees as much as possible. We understand this was not your experience, and appreciate your candid review.
