Pros

Good benefits, and a meaningful mission. The products are innovative and industry-relevant, with a strong connection to real-world field operations. The work supports agricultural operations directly, where technology creates visible, practical impact.

Cons

The organization seems to prioritize stability and proven solutions over rapid experimentation with new technologies. The company seems to prioritize reliability and continuity, which has value, but efficiency, process optimization, and modernization appear to move more slowly than in more technology-driven environments.

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.
