Pros

The company values are exceptional with the goals of helping and saving lives. Compensation and benefits are good.

Cons

Life-work balance is discussed and supposedly very important at Baxter, yet not practiced. From what I've experienced, if you work long hours, you are seen as dedicated and more likely to be promoted. Middle management tends to be selected based on promotion as a subject matter expert, and not on the merits that they can manage people and projects. Also, career development based on employee's strengths is not encouraged.

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
