Pros

The finance organization at Baxter is very strong. We provide decision support for many aspects of the business and our voice is always heard and used in decision making. The tools used in finance are up to date and user friendly.

Cons

Sometimes hard to become a mangaer as there are many Sr. Analysts but not as many manager roles...this is common at all companies however.

Pros

-Coworkers were great, very supportive -The company loves to hire from within, so it's easy to get promotions if you work hard

Cons

-There was a culture of fear. Fear of being reprimanded, fired, laid off, ect. This made it difficult for people to bring new ideas to the table or "rock the boat" in order to get things done or make improvements -The work/life balance was way out of whack. -Managers were not given proper authority to get anything done. This made even small tasks monumental to achieve, what with all the red tape.
