      Safe & Satisfying, Diverse Mix of Products

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Rich history of innovation, and has a great mix of different products. Benefits are good and the culture is very open/family friendly.

      Cons

      Salaries are not on par with what other medical companies seem to offer. Sometimes the company botches product launches & they have over paid for many companies they have purchased.

      Niche player in the healthcare industry

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - very diverse product portfolio (Renal, Nutrition, Hemophilia, Oncology etc) and are all acute care based hence higher margins - company employees and management truly believe in saving and sustaining lives - R&D spend of $1B annually - good corporate citizen and cares for employees

      Cons

      - very profitable hence there is a lower sense of urgency in employees and management. Slow and fractured decision making - limited success with R&D spend in terms of new products or margin improvement. Low accountability - management team in general is old school and disconnected with rank and file. Employee surveys reflect this.

      Was vibrant, future looks mediocre

      Group marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In Parkinson's first 5 years, there were tremendous opportunities to make an impact at all levels. The culture was open and teamwork was strong. Today there some recent changes have brought discipline and occasionally improved decision making. Although career opportunities are scarce, fewer weak people are being promoted. Throughout, the company makes products that matter to providers and patients. The company believes in doing the right thing.

      Cons

      Career opportunities have become rare and only open to those who combine talent with political connections and savvy. While the BioScience pipeline has promise, many programs are longshots and/or underfunded. There is literally nothing in the Medical Products pipeline other than home hemodialysis. Executive management is not proficient at building organizational capabilities. Baxter has always had a core competency in manufacturing. Parkinson has added no competencies.
