Pros

Good benefits. There really is nothing else to say here, I am padding this out to the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Bayer Healthcare is a massive corporation, you are just another number to them. Everyone in management seems to be of the belief that if you don't completely agree with every decision being made, you can leave and they will just replace with you. The idea that they want us to have a better work life balance is a farce. In reality, they will try to keep you around 40 hours a week because thats "best for your work/life balance", and then pick and nag when you're unable to complete the job. Very few career opportunities for field employees, unless you are willing to relocate to Pittsburgh.

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.
