Vantaggi
Having worked at a company that was acquired by Xylem, the people that I worked with truly cared about the company vision & social impact they were making.
Svantaggi
Xylem operates as a massive start-up company, without an overarching vision. The Executive Leadership team seems inexperienced & has difficulty developing & communicating a clear vision. The cultures of the companies acquired by Xylem are over-taken within the first year of acquisition, resulting in reduced morale across the organizations. The messaging of critical communications to staff is poor, often resulting in confusion. There is a general lack of leadership throughout the organization, at all levels. The company continues to operate as individual entities - there is no overarching unity. Growth opportunities are severely limited beyond middle management level.
