Baxter Engineer reviews

Some mangers are actively trying to push you out. Experienced great deal of sexism from direct management. I was doing the job of a employee who left with a job title much higher then mine, but I wasn't promoted or even given a raise. Just given more work that kept adding up without adequate training. Key people leaving leaves big holes, but no replacements, so you are asked to step up without any knowledge of the project left behind halfway finished. My regards for safety were answered, but was punished for bringing it up. Basically I was super frustrated before leaving. Weekends are mandatory and you are always on call, no matter what. No compensation for hours worked past the normal 8-5 as a salaried employee. Spent 12 hours at work Tuesday, better be in at 8 or earlier on Wednesday.

-Very conservative company (a challenge for working in R&D, at times) -Communication can be difficult with R&D teams in such a large organization -Multiple re-orgs in the past several years have stunted some innovation potential -Concern over acquisitions for some product lines vs. leveraging in-house talent
