Pros

Flexible work schedule, some very nice people.

Cons

As with other large companies, too much bureaucracy at times. Changes are slow as well. Advancement and promotions are largely based on a set formula of what degree you have, how many years you've worked there, etc. without too much regard for performance as long as your performance is acceptable. Good for people who want to cruise through their career but not for people looking to excel and move up the ladder.

Pros

Baxter employees a lot of great individuals, who work had to accomplish a common vision, improve the clinical outcomes of our patient care. Working in the health care industry comes with the knowledge that when you do your job correctly, Patients benefit.

Cons

The experience of working at Baxter varies by business and group. Some parts of Baxter are working as a well oiled machine, and other parts are full of dysfunction.

Pros

I chose to work for Bax because I am close to my family. I could have worked for other companies, but I chose Bax mainly because it is close to my family. Maybe this is the trade off for job dissatisfaction.

Cons

Maybe it is for the division I work for, it is stressful and has deadlines after deadlines after deadlines to meet.
