Not the company it was

Pros

For the most part, Bayer has the lowest "jerk ratio" of any company I have worked with. My colleagues are generally lovely.

Cons

I was excited that they really seemed to be trying to embrace a culture of Diversity & Inclusion...and then with great fanfare they announced the successful candidates for 14 new leadership roles- 12 were men, and most were white. Also, if you are not German or at least based in Germany, forget about trying to advance in global roles. The Monsanto acquisition was a debacle.

Middle of the road

Pros

Pay was great to start, some of the coworkers were great to work with

Cons

Raises get smaller and smaller as you go on, unless you're a man. The team was changed to seasonal after two years of being full time so benefits get cut off every winter and then we reapply for our jobs come spring. The new management of the team seems ill-equipped after not being trained by previous management or higher ups on how this team operates. Feels very much like a sinking ship.

Pros

Great group of local field people to work with that work toward a common goal.

Cons

Difficult to advance in job via pay or job level in the company; it is easier to get hired in at a better pay level than to increase once hired.
