Pros

Benefit package is good, but overpriced because Bayer pays less than other comparable companies. Opportunity to develop and work hard to accomplish goals. Depending on management, the bar can be set high to do innovative things. Good place to start to learn. Different Bayer locations have different standards and can get by or excel.

Cons

Probably the most unethical company I've ever worked for and easy to say that I would never work for them again. Their HR is a nightmare and if you are not German, good luck getting any sympathy. You can expect any issue you have to not be addressed or treated with any respect. People are treated as fodder when it involves profit. They would rather shut down a facility and lay off hundreds if the location (or product) cannot generate the money they want. There pipeline relies on other companies utilizing them for their sales force, nothing innovative in the pharmaceutical offerings they have. And really, how many uses does aspirin have. Next, you can expect them marketing it as a flavor enhancer for hot dogs.

Pros

Great people, great salary, great benefits!! This is a great company to work for with an enthusiastic and challenging atmosphere!!

Cons

Dental coverage could be better, and there needs to be a serious focus on getting products covered on key managed care formularies in the various regions of the country.
