Pros

Wonderful company who believe in our mission every day - great people committed to water and making a difference - leading products/brands - company leadership rebuilding the business from the inside out - with strong focus on sales, profits, etc. We are able to attract many of the best in water.

Cons

Tons of change happening -- while there is as approach/strategy, things are moving fast as the company has reoriented the org, pruned product lines, etc. Issue is that many people have been impacted - job redundancies, reorgs, uncertainty. it has impacted morale in many places. and we've lost many good people who have gotten fed up with the changes. We have some really talented, world class leaders . we have others in mid management who really shouldn't be in those jobs and who are in over the heads. communications of the many changes don't flow downhill very well. Xylem needs to step up/improve our people related efforts in most ways. performance reviews aren't taken seriously by most managers; managers aren't trained/good at giving feedback; we are terrible at onboarding, etc.
