      Better pay, but micromanagement and burnout culture present

      Pros

      Better pay than other companies My team - full of hardworking and knowledgable individuals.

      Cons

      Leadership/Management - can be micromanaging at times and not a lot of guidance/resources being provided. Projects can change swiftly at Bayer, and most of the times there's no background context given. Work/life balance - asked to be "flexible" with schedule for last-minute requests, then criticized for having life/responsibilities outside of work. Also, these last minute requests reflect poor planning on management. Lack of team morale - seems like it's all work and not a lot of play. Burnout culture and not a lot of incentives to perform better.

      Inclusive mission but poor management structure and pay

      Pros

      International company that's very inclusive and which does believe in its mission: Health for all, hunger for none. Depending on the team, work/life balance can be great.

      Cons

      Re-orgs have created a 50+ employee to manager dynamic, which can widely span job titles and functions. The career ladder is still being redesigned since 2024, and won't be launched until 2027, so there is no formal advancement. The advice is to do the work that helps Bayer achieve its missions, and worry about appropriate compensation later. Salaries are uncompetitive. Benefits are abysmal.
