Pros

Collaborative coworkeers. Leaders, not managers. Ability to drive your career across divisions and functional responsibilities. Autonomous work is encouraged and rewarded. Currently undergoing full-company organizational transformation. However, once fully in-place and stabilized, Bayer will be stronger and more resilient than current structure.

Cons

Large (> 100k employees) so it can be a challenge to establish networks and effective relationships.

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.
