Thanks for taking the time to write a review and share your feedback on #LifeatBaxter in Newbury. Baxter has a longstanding commitment to inclusion and diversity. With the appointment of our new Chief Diversity Officer, there are many initiatives in play to ensure a thoughtful and inclusive approach moving forward. Thanks for championing our great culture and training and development opportunities. Regarding the cons, we are accelerating our digital transformation journey given the Hillrom integration, and we are confident that refocusing our efforts will enable us to make even more progress this year.​ Thanks again for all that you do.

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.
