Pros

It is a very financially stable global company

Cons

Too much red tape, Regional Asia Leadership does not eminate the Mission and Vision of ITT. No check and balance of management system from Asia RCW level. Singapore employees does not respect inclusion and diversity, very bias and does not respect cultural difference. Leadership style of the Asia Pacific Team is very unprofessional Too much time wasted on international conference calls but decisions go thru long process which delay results Too much reporting requirements and matrix but eventually plans fall into cracks RCW Asia Team are reactive, management team are either old school long termed employees or newbies who pretend to be all know how Performance Evaluation is a Joke If you are OK to be humiliated and shout at in open meetings then you should consider to be an employed in the RCW Asia company. It is an Engineering company but currently have more than 350 HR personnel worldwide who yearly are given the opportunity to travel in different countries in the world for the well spent HR conferences compared to the engineers given more opportunities.

Pros

Wonderful company who believe in our mission every day - great people committed to water and making a difference - leading products/brands - company leadership rebuilding the business from the inside out - with strong focus on sales, profits, etc. We are able to attract many of the best in water.

Cons

Tons of change happening -- while there is as approach/strategy, things are moving fast as the company has reoriented the org, pruned product lines, etc. Issue is that many people have been impacted - job redundancies, reorgs, uncertainty. it has impacted morale in many places. and we've lost many good people who have gotten fed up with the changes. We have some really talented, world class leaders . we have others in mid management who really shouldn't be in those jobs and who are in over the heads. communications of the many changes don't flow downhill very well. Xylem needs to step up/improve our people related efforts in most ways. performance reviews aren't taken seriously by most managers; managers aren't trained/good at giving feedback; we are terrible at onboarding, etc.
