Pros

Great Workplace Flexibility, no dress code, great pay.

Cons

Baxter is in a state of continual reorganization of it's business. There is no security for long term growth. They brought on a new CEO for streamlining the business (severancing employees). The culture is awful - there is a perpetual state of fear of being severanced. They have revamped their severance package and it is now less than 3 years ago. Upper management does not care about employees. 401K is matching only 3%. Yearly raises are 2-3 % for good work. Lots of partiality shown towards certain groups. Does not pay for certification classes, will not pay for textbooks to learn on your own. Management very old schooled. No consistency throughout technologies.

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.
