Pros

Most of the people are easy to work with and your sense of purpose can be fulfilled by the fact that you are helping improve the health of others.

Cons

Upper management biased and very male dominated. If you are in a management position, you are often required to sacrifice your weekends for travel.

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.
