Pros

Global company that provides a diverse experience for its employees. Baxter pays well and as a company Baxter stock is sustainable in good times and bad times.

Cons

Management wise, Baxter is a hit or miss company. I have most recently had the worst Manager/Sr. Manager I have ever experienced in my career. I am not the first to leave this organiztion because of this Sr. Manager and definitely not the last as several others will be leaving as well in the coming months. I have also had the opportunity to work with the BEST Manager/Sr. Manager is my career. This manager cared about my development and also wanted to put me in the best position to succceed and we did, together!!

Pros

Baxter is a world class corporation with a tremendous presence across the globe. Its standing in the healthcare industry and scientific community is very encouraging and inspiring as an employee.

Cons

Locally, the actions by management at some levels can best be described as misguided. The tone and attitude with which the workforce is addressed can be stunningly rude, abrasive, and dismissive.
