Pros

If you’ve failed interviewing at other companies and need an entry point into the pharma industry, this is the place to go if you don’t mind turning into a robot.

Cons

The autocratic senior managers treat reps like dirt. Prepare to loose all your values and freedom as an individual once you join “Science for a better life”. Don’t ever express your true beliefs to management even though they want you to “trust” them. If your ideas aren’t aligned to the delusional and misguided strategy, you will be crucified. How can these senior managers loose all humility once they are given power? It’s an absolute disgrace.

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.
