Bayer

More Than Just Aspirin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

You may have seen the commercials about the Bayer Aspirin.  They are always depicting a man who as a heart attack and the doctor puts him on a aspirin regiment.  This gives the impression that Bayer makes only aspirin but in fact, it is in one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies.  It produces more than a dozen types of medicines for people.


Bayer was founded in Barmen, Germany in 1863 and now has grown to be a global company.  The company does research in pharmaceutical sector but has also done extensive research on animal health, crop science, and consumer health.  The pharmaceutical division focuses on prescription products especially for women's healthcare and cardiology.  Over the years, Bayer has developed dozens of medications that we take for granted today.  These range from pain killers to allergy medications to the treatment of high blood pressure.  Without these medicines, people around the world will suffer from these disease.  For example, it is estimated that Cardiovascular Disease will globally cause the deaths of more than 23 million people.  If we can make medications that treat cardiovascular disease then millions of lives can be saved.  Bayer continues to do research today to help combat many diseases and a career would be amazing.

Bayer has several locations in California, mostly SF bay area, and offers both internships and careers. If you would like to see the career options click here.
