Pros

Bayer is doing really well financially at the moment, and is probably doing the best in the Pharma industry today. Very safe.

Cons

But it feels like you've walked into company circa 1980. Heavily paper based, old legacy systems, old depressing offices, old style management (command and control).

Pros

A very good place to work

Cons

I am not sure if they have a system to place their interns to full time positions. I am comparing this to the people I know that did intern in other companies and were able to secure full-time positions

Pros

Better pay than other companies My team - full of hardworking and knowledgable individuals.

Cons

Leadership/Management - can be micromanaging at times and not a lot of guidance/resources being provided. Projects can change swiftly at Bayer, and most of the times there's no background context given. Work/life balance - asked to be "flexible" with schedule for last-minute requests, then criticized for having life/responsibilities outside of work. Also, these last minute requests reflect poor planning on management. Lack of team morale - seems like it's all work and not a lot of play. Burnout culture and not a lot of incentives to perform better.
