Pros

Awesome medical benefits, company-matched 401k, stock program, beautiful HQ site, friendly and compassionate colleagues.

Cons

Certain lower-tier roles are undercompensated (about 30% under market value), ELT compensation is way too high leading to disparity between leaders and employees, some internal policies are poorly constructed, mandatory on-site or hybrid policy (no full WFH option).

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.
