Not a company for Gen Ys (Stay away from Water & Process Technologies)

Lead project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good Engineering/technical personnel - Good training ground and research support in various parts of the world. - Thinks Big or Bust on most projects

Cons

- Highly beauracratic ( It takes 6 months to add a vendor to the vendor system) - "Sucking up culture" ( Manager needs to hear only positive things and not bad things) - The management is full of White Male Gen X folks who don't understand Gen Y at all (majority > 45 years) - The ombudsperson system is flawed (Multiple people have been given "neutral feedback" on their problems that were filed anonymously and later they were given poor ratings) - Rank and Yank system is still very prevalent even in 2015 (The HR said rank and yank is non-existent, but still PIP are served out to employees when their ranking is low and they are kicked out without compensation. HR lies like its nobody's business and management has no concern for shareholder wealth creation)

Great technologies, out-dated management style

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place for mechanical engineers and finance staff. Good management trainee programs for fresh grads.

Cons

Not so competitive salary. Minimal bonus. Too many acquisitions in recent years, which led to chaotic integrations where both leaders and staffs are confused about goals and objectives.

Toxic environment & full of politics

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company name but very small mindset people.

Cons

People there are negative about everything and are resistant to learning or to change. Constantly with toxic and acidic mindset with negativity everyday. Lazy and some think they can hide behind a big company name. Zero accountability and fear to speak up. Majority bystanders who talk a lot upwards to management but does nothing about it or delegates to lower ranks for recognition..The ones who do speak up and try to make a difference for the company are left alone to die, standing alone.
