Pros

* Work/Life balance depending on department. * Facility- big cafeteria with good options, large fitness center with full basketball court. * Friendly colleagues. * Future of company is focused on direction and core business.

Cons

Not too many... However departments can be siloed, and the corporate structure is a bit convoluted. In finance there are too many systems in place, and access to data is limited.

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.
