Pros

Stable, strong revenue stream, major player in oncology. Good leadership and quick decisions. Great relocation policy. Good bonus and long term incentives.

Cons

The company does not value talent retention. They tend to bring in people at really low salary levels and yearly increases are miniscule. Best to get a good starting base salary before accepting an offer.

Pros

Pay is OK - but can be quite good also if you know how to negotiate. Some of the EEs were really great but they were beaten down and demoralized. The best part of working here was giving myself a Christmas present-- quitting.

Cons

I've been consulting for a decade and Bayer in Berkeley was the worst experience I ever had. Much of the facility itself is appallingly old and crumbling -- I got stuck in one of these windowless buildings in a room with a couple working light bulbs. Generally aggressive and combative work culture with political wrangling reminiscent of high school. Lots of passing the buck. Nobody wanted to work together and some were just hanging around until retirement. Messaging from the top - dedication to safety and compliance, etc - not in line with reality at lower levels where everything was ok as long as delivered on time.
