Pros

Travel opportunities are incredible if the division has US/global merged. The people (most) are amazing to work with - made some lifelong friends.

Cons

Underpaid. Role/salary was downgraded before I was hired so that the manager could get 2 headcount (found out after I was hired). Not much room for growth unless you jump to a different division. Responsibilities grew, but title and salary didn't. Advocated for myself for growth opportunities, but manager did not know how progress it, but continued to add to workload. Work/life balance dwindled quickly. Senior leadership unaware of what 'ground-level' employees do and their impact to daily operations when gone. Baxter used to be such a wonderful place to work, but in the past couple years, it has gone downhill quickly.

High turnover, politics

Pros

Good pay, bonuses, stocks are all at or above market average. Plant leadership is good to above average in some cases

Cons

Highly political environment, somewhat antiquated systems. Back stabbing amongst finance teams and some (not all) leadership, who do not fully understand all functions and their intended roles within the company. Some leader make decisions without all the facts, or who will lie outright about situations to fulfill their political agenda. High turnover due to lack of consistency in leadership, and leadership not fully understanding situations before making important decisions. Senior leader turnover is a real issue. Met or exceeded goals and not rewarded for effort

Pros

They're desperate for hires so even if your experience level is below what it should be you may be able to get in.

Cons

Being paid below market rate What that other guy said about a sinking ship feels accurate. Baxter doesn't know what to do with its acquisitions. Incompetent management gets hired rather than internal promotion. It's a comfortable place to work, but a deeply sad place to work.
