Pros

(I work for a smaller company under Xylem, so this isn't specific to Xylem as a whole) Great work environment. Awesome pay for the area that I am located. Great morals and values. The purpose is to solve water problems so waste water doesn't end up rivers, lakes, ground water, and in the environment. Environmentally cautious. Great people. It is like a family. IT is awesome and gets you what you need. Too many pros to list.

Cons

Since I do work for a smaller company in the Xylem umbrella, I have found that it takes a long time to get things approved and changed because big decisions have to go up the corporate ladder. Waiting on approvals or feedback from the higher-ups takes too long when you are trying to be more innovative. The medical benefits aren't that great. All the other benefits are awesome, except for the medical benefits. A corporation this big should have something better than a high-deductible plan.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
