Pros

Used to have a great culture. Used to include many diverse hybrid roles and promoted within but that ship has sailed.

Cons

Where do I start; Senior level leaders take the roles from their direct reports. (Keeping things classy); There is no process to anything internal; Bayer is cheap and does not like to spend the money on internal infrastructure; culture is poor; the pipeline is sad for US Pharma; they require the HQ folks to come to the office 3 days per week and hybrid roles have gone away; their secretive and not transparent even though they claim different; benefits are expensive; stock prices are an all time low: they cut dividends; financial outcome of the organization is bleak; our Annual Hq bonus are getting less and less; merit increases are not great ; long term incentives have lost 60k every year; DSO is a joke- it didn’t work when it was done at Genentech yet BA thinks it’s going to be great; lots of job eliminations that don’t seem to end; 5 waves of 90 day job cuts; too much back door decisions being made by the same people that made these poor decisions originally that landed us in the position they are in- no very intelligent!

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
