Xylem reviews

List is endless... - company is scared to grow. At its heart, this is a pump company. Don't believe the "solving water" gimmick. They make pumps. - competition is slaughtering Xylem while management sits around and builds powerpoint slides. a lot of powerpoint. - location is brutal and there was zero sympathy for employees who had to commute 1.5-2 hours each way. Every office in every city was this way. - highly highly highly political. you'll need thick skin. - almost ZERO opportunity for growth - professionally and financially. zero career opportunities and bonuses were miserable.

The company has one value, make money for upper managemant and investors. You are expected to work 50+ hours a week for a 40 hour paycheck. It didn't used to be this way. You are routinely "reminded" by upper management that you are lucky to have a job. The career path at xylem is the good old boys network. If you're planning on trying to advance and build a career with this company, you better hope upper level management likes you and that you can get into their good graces. If they don't, you'll never get a fair opportunity to advance. A college degree, experience and/or hard work won't get you anywhere with this company, unless you are in there click . They don't care about you, they will tell you they do, but they don't. I've seen many well qualified men and women get canned, because they didn't sit at the right table during lunch.
