Pros

good pay, you can work your way up if you understand the politics, depending on the team or department you can have a great or bad work experience

Cons

lots of politics and bureaucracy, they do a lot of idea contests but never give feedback about them (or it takes forever), coming from the old Schering organization I found some of the original Bayer people somewhat arrogant, health care comes with some ethical issues that you need to be comfortable with, however Bayer's cropscience units and material science units are way worse - do you want to work for a company like that?
