Working at Bayer

Pros

Great work environment, very professional, opportunity to learn and develop professionally and personally. They are very forward leaning and have strong corporate values.

Cons

You are either a hero or a zero. Bayer touts a work-life balance, but that doesn't really exist in reality. Expect to go the extra mile as a part of the normal work day. Depending on your role, you will likely be asked to travel fairly often. There is no comp time for working in support of a crisis.
