We love this title! Thanks so much for the review and for being a part of our great teams in NJ. We loved the comment "tons of resources", and your comment regarding being prepared to work hard is fair. #LifeAtBaxter is fast-paced and not for everyone. Still, our culture and people are central to everything we do, AND we also believe work should be fun by celebrating in ways that build meaningful relationships worldwide. This means fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, inspired, and belonging. Thanks for all that you do in support of our mission!

Pros

Great mission, great products. Strong internal manufacturing with many products. R&D was being outsourced but there is a push now to keep R&D internal, which is working better.

Cons

Management turnover is high, and many leaders are not promoted from within. Emphasis seems to be on cost-cutting over the past few years. In-person presence has really dwindled at all locations in Northern Illinois.
