Pros

There are some (like 20%) of managers that really care about you and focus on your development. If you get one of those, you're lucky. The vast majority of managers won't work with you to aid in development, have insane expectations, and ask you to not use your PTO due to project demands.

Cons

The company org structure is a joke. Marketing dictates R&D and drives R&D decisions but takes 0% of the liability associated with decisions. Don't expect to be promoted or get a raise even if you're a high achiever. Management will find some excuse to pass on you. It doesn’t help that there are many complacent coworkers that would just sit around and do nothing because they know nothing will happen to them for poor performances. This leads to a handful of employees taking 90-99% of the workload. Baxter can be summed up as "where creativity goes to die" and "keep things floating if they barely work". If you're an engineer, I would stay away from Baxter and try to find employment elsewhere.

Pros

Easy work and only 8 hour shifts

Cons

They are understand but expecting you to work with three people. Also, they are starting to take away benefits, but not giving anything back. Also, they just changed our hours very odd hours that took an hours pay from everybody. They don’t offer even a bonus anymore for the lower employees only the upstairs people get the bonuses.
