Pros

Excellent Team to work with, very interesting business (Water Business), every day something new to learn and also new challenges.

Cons

A company with many changes especially in the upper management. That implies difficulties to build a solid company culture. Low margins and slow new product development.

Pros

Nice coworkers/ flexible on PTO time off

Cons

I worked fulltime at Xylem for over a year. Am moving on to new position shortly. I was doing the job of it least 2 people and was told I was not doing enough work. Had two performance reviews and both were only focused on negatives. Was told I was doing the job of an office manager yet am Inside Sales? There is no appreciation/ very little to no training. If you make it past the first 6 months/year then you have survived. There is a "throw you to the wolves" mentality especially for those who work in branches which is where I worked. I was told how to do one thing in different ways from different people. I felt very isolated here. I had to reach out to people from other parts of Xylem and would have difficulty getting in touch with anyone in order to complete my work. My boss was out-working from home it least once a week, most Fridays not in. I had a ridiculous commute and all he said was you need to live closer even though they don't pay enough to live 10 miles outside a major city. I was told after a year being here/ received a warning for my job, which I am grateful since it gave me the push I needed to get another job. 2 months have past since then and no word on my situation, whether good or bad. They do not seem to care about really helping you do will, only negative reinforcement and scare tactics.
