Baxter reviews

There are too many layers of management between those that actually do the work and the senior level executives to which the results are reported. There is a tendency to have unrealistic expectations or timelines by senior management because there is no comprehension of what processes a project might involve. There is also a significant lack of communication between Executive Management and associates which leads to mistrust and confusion.

What you see is not necessarily what you get. What may be happening at corporate HQ and touted on the website is not necessarily reality at all the locations. There is a lot of stale minds at Baxter and this stifles innovation and creativity at the senior management levels and below. The staleness of the workplace makes it hard to get new, creative juices flowing. Besides being a non-diverse work environment, rankism is the predominant injustice experienced. Promotions are not merit based but seniority based (i.e. whose been around the longest). This contributes to low morale. Managers are thrust into their positions with little to no manager experience or skill. Unfortunately, this creates an environment which does not nurture professional growth and development.
