      Pros

      Interesting industry...providing technologies that will increase access to water for people around the world is great work.

      Cons

      Lack of leadership...no one makes a decision without having 5 meetings and seeking the opinions of every department leader, even if they have no expertise in the matter. Also, it operates more like six different companies so employees feel disconnected.

      Pros

      Strong products. Attracts some very talented people. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      The company has starved its departments to the bone - and then some. Burnout and failure to make employees feel valued is causing a severe brain drain of talent from once-leading brands. Riding existing market share but poorly investing in new products, innovation, or its employees - a failing long-term strategy. Severe absences of leadership and poor morale/culture. Near non-existent training for new employees in technical roles, which will cost the company down the line. Critical function gaps widespread due to attrition or eliminated positions. Salaries well below market rate for engineers.
