Pros

Great work environment, very professional, opportunity to learn and develop professionally and personally. They are very forward leaning and have strong corporate values.

Cons

You are either a hero or a zero. Bayer touts a work-life balance, but that doesn't really exist in reality. Expect to go the extra mile as a part of the normal work day. Depending on your role, you will likely be asked to travel fairly often. There is no comp time for working in support of a crisis.

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.
