Pros

Some latitude for creativity without burden of micromanaging. Generally attractive compensation and good working conditions. Company facilitates safe work practices and safety conscious environment.

Cons

No job security or expectations. Would give Xylem a favorable rating if the company had some form of exit process for contractors. To terminate performing contractors and employees with no communication whatsoever from managers or exit interview from HR, etc. is most unprofessional and reflective of inept management. The HR function consists of multiple outsourced organizations and no communication between them seems to exist. Some lines of business are very wasteful of resources logistically and asset-wise. While no doubt it’s challenging to centralize a decentralized collection of businesses, it is my opinion management of this company is not performing in the best interests of their employees, contractors, customers and investors.
