American Water Employee

"American Water is a very sedate and relaxed place to work. The corporate culture is down-to-earth and the company is fairly flat. There has some turmoil over the past few years about how much the company would embrace technology but that has resolved itself with the choice of a new CEO, who is a back to basics type. Definitely not a place that values disruptive innovation, but rather one that is focused on their core business and steady performance."

"I've worked for American Water for five years now. There is currently a lot of restructuring going on and I do not feel that it is a stable environment. There are a lot of good people that work here and I enjoy working with them, but I do not feel there is any future growth for me at this company."

"Ever since the SAP roll out for American Water the ability to help the customers in a timely fashion has gone away. When a bug is found and reported management says Don't you think somebody above us is paid to find and fix these This is part of our process."
