My internship experience at Bayer has been fantastic! Being new to brand management, I feel the program is structured perfectly, with exposure to a diverse set of functions within the company through training sessions and lots of one-on-one meetings with employees and teams throughout Bayer. Further, what I most enjoy about this internship is really becoming part of the team and having the ability to work on meaningful projects and tasks throughout the summer. I have worked on monthly reports and presentations and attended various meetings that have helped me to really get to know the business and the overall context in which my project fits into the brand. Finally, I must note that the culture at Bayer has exceeded my high expectations. Each person I’ve met has been welcoming and eager to get to know me and to collaborate on my project. Everyone at Bayer, and those on the Summer Intern Program team specifically, has really gone above and beyond to ensure that my experience working at Bayer, and living in New Jersey, is both meaningful and fun!

The summer internship program at Bayer was a wonderful experience! Over the past 11 weeks I have learned much more than I expected. The level of work I was exposed to ranged from analytical to strategic. The program does a good job of exposing interns to every day work as well. I worked on monthly reports, attended cross-functional meetings, and really got a sense for the type of work that ABM’s are responsible for. Another highlight of my internship was getting to experience Bayer’s collaborative culture. From day one I felt very welcomed by my team, and people across the company were always willing to talk to me about my projects or answer any questions I had. Overall Bayer’s summer internship is a great opportunity to develop marketing skills and work in a friendly, supportive environment!

The internship program at Bayer was a great experience. Not only did I learn an incredible amount about Brand Management, but I also got a taste for what working at Bayer would be like in the future. It wasn’t long after starting that I began to see why the Bayer employees are so proud of their amazing and unique culture. Everyone here was more than willing to speak with me, whether it was about my project or just about their experiences at Bayer. The intern program is clearly very valued by the company, as interns were given the opportunity to interact with all the cross-functional and team members at every level, through one-on-one formal meetings as well as informal summer socials. My project enabled me to showcase my analytical skills, as well as work creatively with our cross-functional teams. In addition to our intern projects, the interns were also given the opportunity to shadow Assistant Brand Managers and work with them to understand the business and their day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, the internship program at Bayer was comprehensive, a great learning experience, and a lot of fun!

My summer at Bayer has far exceeded my expectations and really gave me a well-rounded understanding of both brand management and Bayer. My project for the summer encompassed both analytical and creative thinking, and provided me with exposure to many cross-functional teams. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work on the monthly report, MBA meeting, and research reports for my brand team, which really helped me gain a more holistic understanding of what an ABM does, and taught me to be more strategic and tactical in my thinking. The best part of my summer was definitely working with the people at Bayer. Everyone from the brand team to cross-functional teams really made me feel like a part of the team from day one, and it was apparent to me that Bayer really values and invests in their interns. I was very impressed by how collaborative and supportive the Bayer culture is and could not have asked for a better internship experience!

The internship experience at Bayer has been an exciting opportunity for me to fully immerse myself in both a high level strategic project and the day-to-day aspects of brand management. My brand team and the broader cross-functional team were instrumental to my project, and were always receptive to meeting with me to help me better understand the business, and offer their own perspectives. It became very obvious to me within a short period of time that everyone here is committed to creating a valuable experience for the interns. I feel lucky to be surrounded by smart, engaging people who are passionate about their business, and have challenged me throughout the summer to stretch my thinking in new directions.
