Business Outlook

Pros

-Talented and dedicated coworkers who work hard despite the pressures from management -Strong sense of ownership at the frontline; people step up when things break -Knowledgeable scientists and engineers who are passionate about the work they do but underpaid

Cons

- Leadership fails to advocate for teams. Decisions made elsewhere routinely disrupted operations, and frontline teams were expected to absorb the fallout. -Success routinely depended on frontline employees going above and beyond to compensate for broken systems. Instead of fixing root causes, leadership appeared to expect constant heroics as the default operating model. -Burnout is normalized, 6-day work weeks were mandatory. Long-term stress and fatigue were treated as acceptable, not as warning signs. Recovery time was rare, and morale steadily declined.

Would advise to steer clear of the ACM branch

Business Outlook

Pros

The product itself is unmatched. A handful of awesome, successful & tenured people are still there.

Cons

Everything else. Baxter has increased quotas and lowered OTE for multiple years straight. It is unfortunate due to the fact that all reps are still basically selling a startup product, but do not see the typical pay that comes along with the frustrations. Only a handful of OGs are left. Bardy was a fantastic startup that had a wonderful culture. Baxter is kind of a joke. Would personally recommend to steer clear.

Great company, limited internal movement

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company with a great mission. It is meaningful to be a part of a supply chain of important medicinal products that go to 70% of the hospitals in the United States.

Cons

There is limited meaningful internal movement upward in both pay and recognition. HR is not supportive as the company outsourced all HR operations to a large, faceless firm. There is a 6 month hold in current position, which can be unsustainable for long distance commuters. There is no recognition of talent, education, or mentorship to prepare upward movement.
