Pros

They pay still good salaries

Cons

Monsanto drains them and the current CEO is obviously not capable to solve this problem. Just look at the stock price.

Pros

The company is very clean and there is free coffee. Also the location in Berlin is nice.

Cons

Hierarchy to the max. If you are not white, male, German, forget it...you are out. Managers with very poor leadership skills. No decisions, no innovation, only endless power point presentations. The only focus is the internal politics and how to create relationship to get promoted. The frustration of the employees, you can almost touch it in the air. Look in the other Social Media channels..there are hundreds of Heads, SVPs, VPs, CIOs.... how can it be possible? Low performance is more then welcome in this company. My advice to you: run the fastest you can from Bayer.

Pros

To be honest: only the salary but in comparison to the bossing behavior of that manager at BBS it is too less. Bayer has an extremely toxic culture with a lot of c level managers.

Cons

Bossing, emotional pressures, useless HR, politics, head of without any kind of morality and compentences: just reading newsletters, pretend to be busy, smoking a lot, eating sweets and just discriminating all other colleagues - that was the usual day of my executive - compliance issues and a lot of more misbehaviour are included as well. But no one cares. Really no one cares.
