Pros

Bayer offered periodic raises opportunity for advancement. I enjoyed the majority of people at the company although, no place is perfect. The division manager is a rockstar. Intermediate managers are willing to listen to the "little guy". Great and free caffeine sources that are always available. They are very flexible for part time workers.

Cons

Sometimes of the year are very undefined for the company, especially technicians. This will probably improve when they become more established. They don't pay holidays, snow days, or rainouts. If you don't work you don't get paid and there is no paid vacation or benefits.

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.
