Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and giving us your feedback. We especially loved your comments highlighting Baxter's positive culture in Castlebar and the engaged leadership team. We also understand your point regarding working in a matrix environment and that this requires a high degree of cooperation across functions to avoid organisational complexity.

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.
