HQ Legal has a nepotism problem

Pros

If you can find a group to commiserate with, surviving HQ can be bearable as you will can joke what day they will finally fire you. Work-life balance is decent if you suck up enough to get it.

Cons

Benefits are lacking. Compensation is decent, but if you are truly skilled and knowledgeable, you can probably get paid more somewhere else. Raises are nothing and only match inflation. HQ Legal as a nepotism problem. You will never get noticed or promoted unless you play the suck-up game well. GC promoted someone WITH NO ETHICS OR COMPLIANCE EXPERIENCE into the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer role... because she had a friendship with him.

Pros

Xylem's a new company as a result of ITT spin off. The company will match 4% of the 401k retirement plan, basic healthcare plans are high deductible and pay is fair for unionized labor force. Organization has excellent knowledge and employees from ITT.

Cons

Consolidation of leadership positions results in disorganized organization. Healthcare plan does not allow spouse if they have access to insurance through their employer. Healthcare is comparable to other companies.
