Pros

I very much liked working at Xylem. I was in the Sensus division that was acquired by Xylem at some point. They have on-premises tech but at the time were in the early stages of migrating to the cloud. It was fun to be a part of. As the title suggests, the benefits were great and pay was fair, although nothing amazing. Benefits include a really awesome tuition reimbursement package.

Cons

The biggest downside to my position and I imagine many other positions - it requires being on-call quite often, which can really hurt your personal life. When I was on call I got called quite frequently. Got paid a bonus for doing on-call, but it was still a real bummer.

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 Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak.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.
