Pros

I had a good experience working in the HR department at Baxter and I might even go back to work in HR if I get an opportunity. The best reason to work for baxter is- it is an established company in a growing field.

Cons

Not all managers care to sent the right tone and expectations. I had previously worked at Baxter in Round Lake and it was a bad experience. I was hired to work in Drug Delivery and when I went in to report to work on the first day, the manager called the security and had me escorte to work in the Penicilin fill room. This company has a difficult time keeping people working for them as they are not upfront & treuthful with their employees. I have seen employees walk out of there, not to return after working for half a day. One of the worst departments to work in at Baxter is its Credit and Collections department. My boss was the worst that I could have ever had.

Pros

The people are friendly, and the company cares a lot about work/life balance. Compensation and benefits are excellent as compared to similar companies. Upper management is very accessible to the workforce. Many employees have worked at Baxter for many years which shows that the culture promotes careers within the company, and workers who stay are generally satisfied with the job and the lifestyle, etc. Healthcare is a generally stable industy and very attractive in times when the markets are unstable. All in all, it is a corporation that makes healthcare products, pays decently well, and tends to keep people around.

Cons

Although the social networks within the company are strong, Baxter oftentimes resembles high school with cliques and favorites. This is especially prevelent within the lower ranks and the development programs for first time hires. Those employees that are picked to be "favorites" often stay for many years and have to struggle within the terrible promotion structure. Baxter is a very conservative company with little excitement. If you are looking for someone to discuss market news with, this is not the place for you. Most people are concerned with punching the clock and then hurrying home to their respective suburbs. I got the impression that most of the people cared little about their jobs and stayed for many years because they were to lazy or scared to look into anything else.

Pros

Rather small company that has a family feeling. They are doing great financially...better than a lot of pharma companies. There are lots of opportunities to show what you can do to senior management as the organization is rather small. They are also very open to new ideas, so you have the feeling you can contribute to the success of the company and you are not there just to execute commands.

Cons

I haven't found any yet (after 2 months). Some of the benefits may not be as favorable as in other companies, but other are better. All in all it balances.
