      Pros

      Salary, coffee, air-conditioning, friendly coworkers.

      Cons

      Authoritarian leadership style. Hypocritical two-class society: Marketing department has all freedoms and decides based on whims, the other departments have no to say. Questioning processes is not allowed. Talented, longtime employees are fired after a sick leave. HR is not neutral and devoted to higher management. Staff is intimidated, frustrated and does not dare speaking up. Hard work is not appreciated, good performance ignored but mistakes are inflated. The only reason why people stay is because of the good salaries. Summary: If you like being a number, this is a great place to work. If you like to think, stay as long as you learn something and then leave.

      Compromised morals though they preach integrity

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. The other people in the trenches tend to be good and friendly people

      Cons

      Morally compromised HR and management. Fear based leadership. Backstabbing and lies rampant. Bully bosses are given free reign.

      Pros

      Oncology has a robust pipeline

      Cons

      Senior leadership has no idea what they are doing. They make monumental decisions quickly without thinking it through. Not people focused. You are just a number - senior management says, "if you don't want to work here, then leave!" Many reps and managers are leaving - if you want to work at a company where you are respected and valued for your contributions - don't work for Bayer Oncology!
