Pros

Was nice to work for in the beginning. Good work life balance and generally nice people (before they got rid of most of them)

Cons

We got a new UK country head last year who has absolutely ruined the culture here. It has no longer got a nice atmosphere and everyone is scared. Constant restructurings. So inefficient because everyone is too scared to do any work. Headless chicken of a company now. We need a new country head. Current one doesn’t care about employees or patients, just the bottom line.

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.
