Pros

Baxter Healthcare has a very open and comfortable workplace atmosphere. The benefits are great and all your co-workers are enthusiastic about their work and supporting others with theirs.

Cons

Baxter's management likes to run the engineering divisions very lean, so lean in fact that you very likely will be expected to work on far more projects and fill more functions than you are hired on for, sometimes to the point where there are not enough hours in the day to complete all tasks. Be sure to set boundaries for yourself so your work-life balance isn't leaning toward the former.

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.
