Pros

Worked with a great group of people. However, as we were acquired by Baxter, this was really attributed to the culture of the previous company. Good benefits.

Cons

After new CEO, people are now strictly numbers. Any feeling of care for employees no longer exists. After Baxter/Baxalta split, Baxter lost the 'Quality ' goal in the overall strategy. Prior tot the split, everyone preached patient safety and quality over anything else. There were literally posters all over the building reinforcing this. After the split, the posters were removed, and the actual word 'Quality' was removed from the corporate strategy statement. The focused shifted to quicker delivery to realize sales quicker. Work-life balance used to exist. This is no longer the case as employees are expected to work many extra hours and take on additional workload as a result of lay-offs. It seems as though the many recent lay-offs occurred without a good understanding of the impact and unrealistic expectations of remaining employees.

Pros

Stock pricing is moving up and there is a renewed focus on cost and accountability; some which is good, but some is creating unwanted politics and additional posturing at higher levels

Cons

It's call the three pillar 2020 strategy, but how can anyone at this company feel secure anymore. The hedge fund guys are cutting and slashing their way to success. The new CEO and his new hires are unwilling to listen and take no prisoners. Do yourself a favor - look elsewhere.
