Pros

Great Talent Development program. Baxter takes risks with employees and allows cross functional promotions to further develop team members. Management frequenly promotes from within.

Cons

Baxter should be transperant with all empoyees on how senior positions are filled through slating processes. Often, positions are not posted and well qualified employees are placed into the vacancy.
