Pros

Pay, benefits, global systems, workforce (not inclusive of management or union labor)

Cons

RUN AWAY! Positive reviews on GlassDoor were engineered be PUblic Policy department to improve results of internal bi-annual survey.. This place is not for fighting the wind mills. This employer's practices will crush your soul, strip you of any dignity, make you re-define workplace ethics, coerce you to sleep your way to influential assignments. HR biases permeates every facet of Berkeley Site professional life, makes cultural change impossible. Cold hearted disregard of CFRs and cover up of GMP violations by middle and upper management is rampant, it is the true root cause of chronic contaminations and loss of product potency. Employees who try to "Do the right thing" are chased out of the organization in blood-curdling fashion. Back-stabing, visious gossip, old boys network, German upper management evaluates CA employees the way one would look down at an ant hill.

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.
