Pros

Amazing people, good work life balance, amazing benefits, unsurpassed retirement benefits.

Cons

Pharma performance dragged down by Xarelto and Eyelea going off patent, coupled with Monsanto lawsuits depressing the stock, your LTI and STI barely hit the target. Salary is barely median within industry, yet HR takes the stance it's competitive. Oncology pipeline has dried up, new management not able to make a decision on acquisitions to save their life and their entire pipeline commercialization team has been dissolved (their BD&L team is led by a confused lady, at best). They are hanging by a Nubeqa thread that has a peak potential of 4bn, yet Bayer has 100bn of debt on the books. So get promoted and move up, then move on.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
