Pros

Initially great company to work for but rapidly gone downhill in the last 2 years. Bayer is getting a very bad reputation. Avoid like the plague!

Cons

Lost patient focus and absolutely desperate to beat the competition. Take it out on the field force. Very unhealthy environment to be operating in. Great managers have left and been replaced with inadequate managers not capable of coping with pressure. Extremely poor treatment of SalesForce by certain Sales Managers and so called field trainers! Bullying and mobbing mentality is rife with individuals being constantly picked on, reduced to tears and eventually having no other option than to leave. Staying silent is encouraged otherwise suffer the same consequences. HR just turn a blind eye to what is going on.

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.
