Pros

The company did allow for a pretty relaxed work environment in which it was stringent upon a dress code nor a strict schedule

Cons

Where to start: Menial pay-I have a graduate degree and friends with no college education make more, no benefits-(well you can opt for some benefits if you want to forfeit the equivalent of two paychecks), no management skills of managers rarely did employees know what they were supposed to be doing and communication was rare. Do not take any suggestions from employees and are threatened by someone with a higher education level than themselves. Gave two week notice and was let go the next morning getting to work and had only made it two steps out of vehicle.

Pros

Senior management showed a ton of respect to employees when announcing site closure 2 years in advance. Also very helpful in finding employment at other Bayer sites. Unfortunately other site doesn't come close to the supportive, compliant driven culture of Emeryville.

Cons

Was not easy enough to fire non-performers. Sometimes decisions were not based enough on scientific evidence which prohibited effective change management.
