Pros

Gold standard products, true want to do the right thing for customers and patients but that is where it ends.

Cons

Last year there was a salary decrease in the bonus program of about 30k. This year there is an additional cut for another 30-60k depending on performance. We now carry more products than ever and are doing the job that once 2 people did at a lower compensation! I don't know how you sell that! Cost of living is not taken into consideration and neither are the sales reps. Our established customer base and relationships be damned with the most recent re org. Their attitude is if you don't like it leave. Unless you have had a title promotion (and trust me it is title only) I don't know if one person who isn't looking to leave. Stay away from this train wreck.

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.
