Pros
Bayer is a world leader in polyurethanes, polycarbonates, and coatings. It has superior technical knowledge and support. It has many people who are willing and able to support each other, and a very team oriented environment... in general. Pay scales and benefits are consistent with industry averages,
Cons
Bayer MaterialScience continues to have difficulty defining its path forward and, as is the case with many very large organizations, is slow to capitalize on opportunities and, occasionally, too slow to communicate changes in direction down its ranks. This can be frustrating. Also, on the sub-organizational level, directors and managers can be controlling to their own ends rather than the benefit of the corporation, and often to the detriment of the corporation.
