Pros

- Saving lives - Loved what I did - Salary

Cons

SLT could care less about their employees. They can smooth talk but everyone is disposable. Numerous HR on site but don't waster your time because for the one or 2 that aren't corrupt they lay low to keep a job. No morals exist at Baxter anymore. They knew they were going to have to let a large part of the workforce go at the end of last year, made people sign NDA's even, and then blindsided their employees with termination. Not to mention NEVER file an ethics and compliance report or escalate concerns. No matter what they tell you retaliation will come! I-Care is their slogan but you honestly can't care anymore because if you do it will tear you up inside to see all the wrong doing, procedures broken and blind eyes turned. Good luck to those that remain.

Pros

Global company reputation – Baxter is a well-established name in pharma, adding strong credibility to your CV. Cross-functional collaboration – Opportunities to work with QA, QC, engineering, EHS, and external manufacturers. Hands-on growth – You may be thrown at the deep end with put proper training and support but if you are opistimic you can grow. Mentorship & leadership exposure – Access to senior leaders is handy to gain high level insight. Meaningful work – The role directly impacts patient safety, compliance, and product quality.

Cons

Poor communication culture – People tend to keep to themselves; there’s little open dialogue or support. Blame culture – If you make a mistake, colleagues and management are quick to pounce rather than support or coach you through it. Lack of expert training – For operators and even quality professionals, there aren’t real experts available to train or upskill staff. Huge knowledge gaps – Significant gaps in technical knowledge across teams make it harder to rely on internal expertise. Pace of progress can be slow – Projects often stall, and colleagues don’t always match your sense of urgency. Management gaps – Weak accountability, requiring you to constantly pick up slack and drive initiatives. Resistance to innovation – New ideas and smarter validation approaches aren’t quickly adopted. Workload & balance – Parallel projects stretch resources and can impact work-life balance. Career ceiling at site level – Growth beyond the local role feels limited, compared to European/global opportunities.
