What is it like to work for a German company?
Actually, working for Bayer is very much like working for any other company in our industry. We hire the best available talent and give them the opportunity to provide results. The majority of all strategic issues are decided with the U.S. company, as are all operating issues. Given our non-U.S. origins, there is probably a greater emphasis on awareness of international issues, and a desire to share synergies and talent across international borders. Tell me more about the organizational structure. In January 2005, Bayer Consumer Care completed its acquisition of Roche Consumer Health (RHC). As a result of the merger, Bayer now ranks among the top three OTC consumer health organizations in the world, with a presence in more than 100 countries.
