Pros

Sustained cultural transformation being made by Joe (the CEO) and and his extened leadership team combined with a strategic acquisition of Hillrom is setting a strong foundation for continued growth. Flexible work arrangements, talented technical staff, and motivated management make day-to-day work enjoyable. The benefits are solid, too.

Cons

COVID response policies make it difficult to work F2F, but these are mandates coming from outside Baxter.

Thank you for writing a review and sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time. We completely agree with your view on the current cultural transformation we are undergoing as Baxter and Hillrom move forward inclusively as one Baxter. Thank you for championing our flexible working arrangements, compensation benefits and highly talented IT staff whom we would be lost without their knowledge and expertise. We also agree with your comment on the covid response policies, and we so look forward to the day we can all reunite F2F in the offices. Thank you so much again! #LifeatBaxter

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.
