Culture not great, pay poor compared to other industry leaders.

I worked as a Contractor for a year prior to joining Baxter. I can say the culture is not narcissistic and micromanagement. At least not outside of Manufacturing , Quality Management and Production. <-- If you think about it ...these 3 aspects of a medical tools and equipment Fabrication plant do require a bit of micromanagement to meet production and manufacturing cycles, and Quality measures would require a bit of this as well since these tools could mean the difference between life and death for many of the individuals who depend on them. As for the rest of the business it's about innovative thinking, looking out for your team and raising the bar for all your peers. Don't mistake confidence for narcissism. Its about showing off and letting everyone know what we do matters and makes a difference for the businesses big and small that rely on the micromanaging to keep the quality at the level required to allow the public to have faith in the product we bring to market.
