Pros

Great company culture..DSO equates to zero bureaucracy. Awesome for self driven goal oriented people. Agile. Pays for performance. Fail fast and learn culture-refreshing!

Cons

Pros

Hybrid work schedule. Decent amount of time off for holidays.

Cons

Promotions are determined by friendships, not skills. Diversity is nonexistent. Leadership is a joke. DSO was supposed to remove middle management and empower the employees at the lowest level but now we have more managers than ever.

Pros

Telecommuting options available, but apparently in my department for senior staff only. Lots of employee resource groups. Great cafeteria. 16 volunteer hours.

Cons

Like to be bullied? Like management & HR to do nothing about it? Then Bayer is the place for you.
