Bayer Response

Thank you for the feedback on Glassdoor. As we shift toward a more open, dynamic system, a reality is that the reduction in bureaucracy and hierarchy may result in fewer jobs. This is not something we take lightly. While we’re moving quickly to implement our new system, it will take time for these changes to be felt throughout the organization and externally. This won’t happen overnight. Any change of this scale requires tough questions, challenging decisions, and some temporary discomfort including some changes to reduce layers and simplify our structures.

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.
