A good (not perfect) place to work and learn

Pros

Opportunities to learn and work in different roles (if you push hard). Many technical resources to consult with who are almost without exception eager to help. Salary is competitive. They will cover the cost of external training. Most of my supervisors have been supportive and encouraging.

Cons

Training for a specific role may or may not happen, so you need to be a self starter. It is easy to get lost in the crowd if you are not gifted at self promotion. it is a very vertical organization and it seems that important things are not recognized as important by the time they get to the level that can make a substantive change. Good people get let go to make up for budget issues, every year different groups get impacted.

Great location, but not-so-good employee benefits

Pros

Plant located near MRT station, ease of access. Baxter has company share purchase policy, which is good to invest part of salary back into company, to earn dividend and also additional commitment to company's success.

Cons

HR policy of BioScience plant was aligned to Medical Delivery plant. The disparity between the two manufacturing plant led to poor employee benefits, compared to other biopharmaceutical plants in Singapore.

Pros

Most of the employees are great people, and this leads to a productive office culture. The compensation was decent, but for the type of work, and the quality of the work that management expects, there are other companies that pay much more well. I would recommend this company for someone to start off.

Cons

The expectations were very high. Everyone, including the trainers were so busy with work that it affected training so much that the majority of new hires were let go before even the training period. Assimilation for entry-level positions is a joke here. Think you might get promoted? If you basically eliminate everything else outside of your work then yes, otherwise, there is no way to move up because there are people working there that keep on working after technically leaving work... Everyday! Also, rules and regulations constantly change, so even employees that have been there for years may be completely lost on work procedures.
