Pros

Learn a lot, unfortunately mainly on how not to do it. Learn how to accomplish objectives with no resources (budget and headcount).

Cons

New leadership (CEO and Top management) are creating an unhealthy culture of increased stress, cost cuts, headcount cuts and mainly a fear culture. No one is currently allowed to challenge them without suffer consequences. The ones who have challenged have been forced to leave, the remaining ones just do what they are told. Company is trying to impress the market with increased profits due to lack of investment and cuts in preparation to sell the company. Baxter 2020 strategy is a short term strategy to achieve impossible objectives. It is scary the future of the company in the medium term when all the best employees have left and were not replaced due to the cuts.

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
