Pros

A company where everyone really cares about their colleagues and about the role Bayer plays in making life better for people, plants and animals worldwide. Innovation goes to the heart of the business and there is always a questioning of how we can do things differently to improve the way we work and the way we can serve our customers better. This can be tiring, but exhilarating. We all have a passion for doing things right and for being the best life sciences company in the UK.

Cons

The level of empowerment can be bureaucratic, with many people getting involved in changes and implementing new systems. It means that everyone has a voice and the feeling that they influence major decisions, but it means that things can take a lot longer. Sometimes you just want the company to get on with it.

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.
