Pros

- The company has a great mission statement, and they do a great job of bringing things back to the paitents. - Some of the people here are really great to work with. - Some benefits perks like discounts and local museum admissions.

Cons

- The compensation is not competitive compared to other med device companies. - A lot of disfunction here and instead of improving things people say "well that's just Baxter". - A lot of things here are weighed down with bureaucracy that can be hard to navigate. - Expected to handle a large workload, most people here are working over 40 hours a week. - You are expected to be at the office at least 3 days a week, even if you have no in person meetings. They promote flexibility but really depends on what team you are on.

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.
