Baxter Reviews

Pros

Great work life balance. Willing to help employees grow and be better - they tailor your work around what you want your development to be like. Very inclusive. Great company for women to grow in.

Cons

Opportunity to move up can be limited in some departments.

Pros

good healthcare coverage and I liked my peers

Cons

Low pay, customer service employees are hounded to push out calls nonstop making for a poor work/life balance, with no incentive whatsoever to do better, but if you don't do an insane number of calls you will have a low score and reprimanded. Little guidance for growth, very strict and just poor management overall. Felt like a number not a human being. Management doesn't care about the quality of care you deliver to the patients-- they care about the statistics of the phone call. So if you are on one call for a long period of time because you have to go above and beyond to help a patient, it actually works against your overall score. If you are even one minute late you are docked way too much. mandatory overtime for months at a time with no hopes for it ending.

Pros

Good opportunities and a great business. Strong CEO.

Cons

Systems and processes are very complicated. Constant cost reductions. Run on very lean resources.

Pros

Healthcare benefits Skills training available if budget allows for it

Cons

You will quickly learn the core business is not engineering. The products/plants are not standardized. I have been at Baxter for 5 years and every year we get a new CVP that changes the "plan" of engineering. I would not recommend working here for engineering. Unless you go through the TDP program you will not be promoted. Honestly, no matter how hard you work the bonus/raise will be the same or lower each year. You will only grow bitter and frustrated.

Pros

Good company, decent pay, bosses are not micromanagers.

Cons

Over time, no growth in the company.

Pros

Great support from peers and management

Cons

No major concerns, some overtime required
