Employees at Xylem appreciate the flexible working hours, amenities such as snacks, coffee, and tea, the opportunity to work with people from different fields, and the learning opportunities provided by leaders acting as 'tour guides'.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as concerns about upper management's ability to manage effectively, frequent changes in leadership at the top level, which can be challenging for managers to adapt to, many processes and procedures to follow, and a perception that bonuses and salary increments could be improved. Additionally, employees working at sewage treatment plants may face unpleasant smells as part of their work environment.
