Pros

Competitive salary. Good work life balance.

Cons

Site with very low morale. Management team has low qualifications and competences. Low investment in employee development. Shop floor staff has a very nationalistic culture and integration of foreigners is very difficult, although Baxter claims betting on diversity and inclusion.

New leadership

Pros

Learn a lot, unfortunately mainly on how not to do it. Learn how to accomplish objectives with no resources (budget and headcount).

Cons

New leadership (CEO and Top management) are creating an unhealthy culture of increased stress, cost cuts, headcount cuts and mainly a fear culture. No one is currently allowed to challenge them without suffer consequences. The ones who have challenged have been forced to leave, the remaining ones just do what they are told. Company is trying to impress the market with increased profits due to lack of investment and cuts in preparation to sell the company. Baxter 2020 strategy is a short term strategy to achieve impossible objectives. It is scary the future of the company in the medium term when all the best employees have left and were not replaced due to the cuts.
