Pros

I worked there 9 yrs. Decent pay to start, decent benefits. They have a lot of training and opportunities to learn new skills. Before long I was working at an Engineers job description. They were great to me when my son was in the hospital. Depending on your manager they will bend the rules so I was paid. Also let me work from home at times and had flexible hours.

Cons

Although I was doing work of an engineer I was never promoted. The increases are a joke! They use a bell curve system that forces your manager to put someone at the top but also someone at the bottom, it didn't matter if the whole group was good. I lost my job because of a reorg. Moving many tech jobs to India. Found out India meant a recruiting company from India would be calling me to fill in for a job at Baxter as a contractor, that seemed a perfect fit. No benefits but almost dbl the pay! Yes perfect fit because it was my old job! Upper Management treats you like a number. They say they are a family company but they make decisions that don't make sense and it effect peoples lives in an adverse way.

Pros

Sometimes pay, but not worth potentially losing your job

Cons

Layoffs every few months. Too many middle management that don't have any technical skills. Will be sold off to equity firms in the next 5 to 10 years
