Pros

Baxter has a lot of good products and a lot of good people. Some of the initiatives with public/private partnerships are also very interesting.

Cons

The decision-making process is extremely lengthy and priorities and organisational structure seem to shift regularly making it often a very frustrating place to work.

Pros

When I started it was overall a good company. Worked with a great team, developed some very valuable relationships that will last. Had the opportunity to rotate and learn different aspects within the Quality side of the business. I was happy working with the team and felt that I belonged. Lately things have changed with a new management team.

Cons

Very complex organisation. Middle management is caught between the top and bottom. A fair amount of corporate politics. Constantly restructuring and eliminating positions. Many quality issues and always firefighting. Cutting back on staff and increasing workload for the existing employees. Not enough product knowledge provided to the employees and very little budget for training. Managers are not given the reins to lead due to a number of restrictions and do not have their own budgets. Once you reach the level of manager there is no room to grow. Things have gone from better to worse not sure which way they are headed. I could go on .....
