      We want to thank you for your openness and take your suggestions for improvement regarding more transparent communication; there will be significant changes in the future concerning this. While we are in the midst of a considerable change, we know the results will position Bayer for the next 100 years, putting customer needs at the center, and, instead of work moving up and down a layered org chart, we will put more power in the hands of those doing the work sparking cross-functional teams and flow resources towards projects that focus on our mission: Health for all, Hunger for none. All the best to you!

      Don't walk... run!

      Senior director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Above average pay (Cambridge MA, USA site), great benefits, fulfilling purpose

      Cons

      The quality of management (performance, decision making, creativity, leadership skills) is rock-bottom. Decisions are glacially slow, and when they are made they are clumsy attempts at political maneuvering. A new quasi religious company culture initiative called Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) has been adopted that flattens the structure but leaves the same poor management in place. This flattening has removed direct reports and shuts off opportunity for promotion: it's a dead-end job for anyone hired or working at the Associate Director/Director level. Don't walk... run from this dumpster fire!
