Pros

Learn a lot, unfortunately mainly on how not to do it. Learn how to accomplish objectives with no resources (budget and headcount).

Cons

New leadership (CEO and Top management) are creating an unhealthy culture of increased stress, cost cuts, headcount cuts and mainly a fear culture. No one is currently allowed to challenge them without suffer consequences. The ones who have challenged have been forced to leave, the remaining ones just do what they are told. Company is trying to impress the market with increased profits due to lack of investment and cuts in preparation to sell the company. Baxter 2020 strategy is a short term strategy to achieve impossible objectives. It is scary the future of the company in the medium term when all the best employees have left and were not replaced due to the cuts.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
