Pros

A company where everyone really cares about their colleagues and about the role Bayer plays in making life better for people, plants and animals worldwide. Innovation goes to the heart of the business and there is always a questioning of how we can do things differently to improve the way we work and the way we can serve our customers better. This can be tiring, but exhilarating. We all have a passion for doing things right and for being the best life sciences company in the UK.

Cons

The level of empowerment can be bureaucratic, with many people getting involved in changes and implementing new systems. It means that everyone has a voice and the feeling that they influence major decisions, but it means that things can take a lot longer. Sometimes you just want the company to get on with it.
