Pros

Well respected by customers. Strong history to the company. Has some very interesting drugs in the pipeline, providing the marketing background is done before launch and not after.

Cons

Constant change in structure meant that there was a regular look over the shoulder to check what is coming. Difficult to plan for the future when the route to the destination kept changing. Amateurish in the approach to what could/should have been big pharmaceutical brands. Thinks is a big pharma company but acts like a small one.

Pros

1. The employees! Without a doubt the employees support each other and are extremely cooperative on cross-functional projects. 2. The Employee Store which offers bargains on Bayer products.

Cons

1. Over the past few months new upper management has been installed in the Quality unit. This new management team came in to "clean-house" and consequently the fallout has resulted in some of our co-workers losing their jobs. Some of these employees held key positions which left holes in the organization. The result? Those of us that are left have been given the additional work being added to an already overworked organization. 2. During this house-cleaning they even went as far as demoting some of the remaining employees, explaining they were promoted sooner than they should have been. How's that for morale? These co-workers, as well as many others, are currently looking for employment elsewhere. 3. A new "values initiative" was implemented this year (there's usually a new one every year) and for the last few years upper management promoted the initiative but didn't follow the initiatives themselves. 4. The morale is terrible from all these changes. We are all scared we could lose our job at any time. This was evident this past month when two employees were fired because of the way they interpreted some data.
