Pros

It is a mix of Conservative departments and Innovative ones. Germany employees tend to stay long time in their companies, so you can consider it a stable company.

Cons

Company being transformed, new business are being acquired and old business have been sold and will be sold to other companies. This creates some anxiety. Big company, so lots of overlapping activities, teams trying to do the same things (e.g. Digitalization). This wastes time from everyone.

Pros

Bayer's ambition is to remain a big, innovative player in the pharmaceutical industry. The company is currently going through a major transition by acquiring smaller, very promising biotech companies and divesting older business/products. This puts Bayer right on track and will strengthen the product pipeline/portfolio for the next years.

Cons

Historically, Bayer is regarded as a very conservative company with "old", un-innovative men running the business. In part, this is still the case, even though I see constant improvement. Change needs time in a big company like Bayer
