Pros

Brief commute when traffic isn't bad.

Cons

CEO is cutting operational costs by firing Americans and replacing them with contractors in India (GCC/Infosys). Nearly every 4 or 5 star review here from the last two years is written by a GCC contractor. These reviews are vague, short, and deliberately positive. There is a review under this one titled "Employer with great traditions and culture as company review", this is a GCC review written under instruction by management by a non-Waters employee. Behind the scenes it is chaos over here, almost every project is behind schedule and frequently broken on arrival. If you are planning on working here, ask yourself how much BS you are willing to tolerate, because it is heavy here.

Pros

supportive work colleagues and peers.

Cons

Narcissistic Senior director drawing huge salary that lack domain expertise. Despite holding a senior position, the director demonstrates limited understanding of complex sales processes and scientific marketing methodologies, which are critical to our business success. He has image driven leadership, has noticeable emphasis on maintaining a polished personal image and crafting favorable narratives for upper management, often at the expense of addressing real operational challenges. Echo Chamber Culture, the director has cultivated an environment of conformity by surrounding themselves with individuals who consistently affirm their views, thereby discouraging constructive dissent and critical thinking. Workplace bullying, He also has unrealistic expectations and biased evaluations, his staff are often held to impractical standards, and those who voice alternative perspectives are at risk of receiving disproportionately negative performance evaluations
