Baxter FAQ

Pros

Good benefits, workplace flexibility (handled very well through the pandemic), generous PTO. Large push for innovation and new product development. Great employees who really care about the work they do.

Cons

Communication across business groups isn't consistent, it can leave you to feel in the dark on what's going on with the company. Especially in uncertain times of a pandemic, it led to rumors spreading rapidly. Opportunities for promotion aren't always given, frequently instead workloads and responsibilities rise with no raise/promotion In sight. This has led to burnout and employee turnover.

Cons

Hard to move up in current role because of step by step required promotion. If you want a good job don't come into an entry level position. I Outside candidates that have the similar experience to in-house candidates will get interviews, if the in-house candidate is not in the next step position. No long provides a lot of benefits that it did five years ago. No pension, no employee appreciation, reduced employee perfect attendance incentive, reduced matching IIP benefits.

Work environment constantly changing, and constant decrease in positions.
