Pros
The people are very friendly and professional. Employees work hard and care about the success of the company. Bayer pays very well, has good benefits, and a lot of career opportunity if you are willing to relocate. There are many good mid level managers.
Cons
Work/life balance can be an issue, for some departments more than others. There are two big cultural issues at Bayer: the good old boys club is the first one, which is enabled by the second. That is the company values are endorsed by senior management but consistently applied or modeled at all. There seem to be power plays and favoritism. Rumors suggest a very divisive executive group that is dysfunctional. This behavior appears to be not only tolerated, but encouraged.
