RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Baxter full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Top management is driving a huge transformation to the company culture, there is now investment in a real R&D pipeline, they are actively working to understand what the younger employees in the workforce expect and are taking concrete actions to accommodate those things.
Cons
There is still a lot of change happening and still some people unhappy with the change.
Advice to Management
Keep making your aspirations about culture into concrete changes.

- HQ is in Deerfield
- Lots of work in the queue currently with not a lot of new resourcesAdvice to Management
Weed out the folks who do not want to do the work and complain about how much they have to do. It's a time suck for everyone else who is just trying to get the job done.

Pros
Products help patients and make a difference in their lives. Some smart, enjoyable coworkers. Main campuses in Chicago, although in far suburban areas away from transportation, offer scenic walking paths. Telecommuting for many positions.
Cons
Very bureaucratic. Old school management style which runs counter to working mindset of millennials and many tech companies. Micromanagement , at least in supplychain, is too invasive and counter productive. Cost cutting is pervasive. Almost yearly reduction in force the many years I worked here. Seems like maybe new management is prepping company for a near term sale.
Advice to Management
Focus more on your internsal talent - of which you have much of. The bottom line may please shareholders but if you drive dedicated employees out the door - it's a recipe for failure.
