Pros

Immediate co-workers were great - willing to work as team, collegial. Acceptable work/life balance. On-site cafeteria and Bayer product store bonuses.

Cons

Senior management thinks highly of itself. Not willing to listen to your input if not on the same level. Once you have your position, it appears advancement is more political than merit based.

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.
