Pros

Big corporate giant with tons of resources. Sometimes too much and there can be a notion of manufactured chaos in the Hillrom division. Baxter has brought in new processes and a massive budget which is a good sign for stability.

Cons

People can spin the wheel and get away with it. Often times long term career holders tout that it is hard to get fired and just quiet quit. The talent that built the Hillrom machine has long since left and the workload isn’t there to sustain the current headcount. Lots of ‘empire’ building, little innovation. Watch out for managers who bring on contractors to churn.

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.
