Pros

Bayer is a large company, but you still feel like you matter. They are big on developing people into what they want to become. The only thing that will hold you back is yourself if you let that happen.

Cons

You do put in a lot of hours there and that sometimes has a negative impact on your personal life.

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.
