Pros

Working at Baxter had the benefit of a work life balance. It was an established company that moved at a slow pace.

Cons

The culture was bureaucratic. Employees were generally complacent and resistant to change. The salaries were generally lower than at neighboring Amgen and it took a lot to get either fired or promoted so motivated erred to low.

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.
