      Pros

      Bayer use to be very people oriented. The maternity benefits use to be the best in the country and written as the best place for women to work by Fortune 500. The awards program and bonuses at Bayer are great. Recognition for work above and beyond is common. Promotions were available as well as making lateral moves. Career opportunities were made available. Benefits were also very good at the start. Employee morale use to be very good. Was a great place to work at least until the acquisition. People were treated with fairness and respect. I thought it would be the best place to retire.

      Cons

      The acquisition has been very difficult. Employee morale went down once sites began to close and people started to get laid off. Was very stressful and unhappy environment to work. The benefits started to be reduced, especially the maternity benefits.

      Pros

      If your actually hired by the company a good deal. But the likelihood of you ever being more than a contractor is slim and none. There are really very little in the way of good or positive reasons to work for Bayer Corp in North America.

      Cons

      A huge company that only cares about top people. Little to no focus or coordination between divisions. They treat employees poorly and contractors at sub-human standards. There is NO upward mobility. They do not recognize hard work or sacrifice. Management is so consumed with their own petty squabbles and finger pointing they do no actual employee management.

      Pros

      On a professional level there are lots of technically strong people to learn from--a very collaborative work environment for the most part. Very action oriented and data driven.

      Cons

      The company has been pushing it's STAR objectives, which they seem to have difficulty implementing successfully. Why? The most difficulty seems to be in "being decisive". At times we are paralyzed by the fear of making a poor decision. I have found this to be true more in QA than on the Operations side.
