Pros

The pay is pretty good, most operations jobs are simple. Schedule is pretty good. Bayer is a solid company with a future.

Cons

Bad management and micro management is their philosophy. Too many layers and unneeded positions. Seems like the only people they promote are yes men who will do whatever the boss wants instead of the best candidate.

Pros

Salary, coffee, air-conditioning, friendly coworkers.

Cons

Authoritarian leadership style. Hypocritical two-class society: Marketing department has all freedoms and decides based on whims, the other departments have no to say. Questioning processes is not allowed. Talented, longtime employees are fired after a sick leave. HR is not neutral and devoted to higher management. Staff is intimidated, frustrated and does not dare speaking up. Hard work is not appreciated, good performance ignored but mistakes are inflated. The only reason why people stay is because of the good salaries. Summary: If you like being a number, this is a great place to work. If you like to think, stay as long as you learn something and then leave.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. The other people in the trenches tend to be good and friendly people

Cons

Morally compromised HR and management. Fear based leadership. Backstabbing and lies rampant. Bully bosses are given free reign.
