Pros

The compensation and benefits are vey much competetive. The site is located in the beautiful S.F. Bay Area which is a great place to live.

Cons

It is very difficult to get a promotion. Management does not support employees as much as they should. Most upper managers are Germans. There is a glass sealing when it comes to career growth.

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.
