Pros

Decent benefits and middle of the road salary. Adhering to compliance laws very important and advertised throughout the company. Continuing education programs are well supported and financed for those who like to take courses while working.

Cons

Bottom line management style...Sacrificing talent, experience and home grown employees to outsourced companies. Touted as greenest employer and top 100 for the last 6 years or so but hasn't done anything new since the first year. No room for managerial advancement despite annual re-orgs and policy shifts. No real training for new employees..a sink or swim mentality. Way too much bureaucracy!

Pros

You can merge into your best role at this company and work horizontally towards your most desired role. Management really works with you to ensure you enjoy working your particular job. Also Bayer has an excellent Ergonomics department dedicated to ensuring your comfortability.

Cons

Difficult to get promoted vertically. You may struggle to obtain the promotion you want, and even after 20 years, you may not be the best candidate.
