Baxter Engineer reviews

A Fish Rots at the Head, the CEO & will give directives to management and lay off hundreds and thousands (literally, last "reorganization" resulted in thousands of terminated employees) of people in order to meet cash flow projections. If there is any doubt look at what Joe did to Covidien and what Sumant did to Hospira, their leadership is a calculated ploy to run the Company into the ground and profit on selling the remains. CEO-Joe in a rush to sell off company, beware if you make too much money. Look at Covidien for game plan for future of this company.

No Real Innovation Streams, buying outside corporations and trying to outsource to China and India, Upper Management has the Operational Knowledge and Efficiency of an intoxicated 5yr old.

Almost no women in leadership. -Very stingy with holiday and vacation: 2 weeks vacation for the first 5 years, 2-3 days for christmas and new years (depending if it fell on a weekend).
