Pros

Multinational company with presence in very diverse industries Great opportunities for career development and job rotation Great geographical flexibility (you can pretty much plan to work in any country in the world) Protective of its employees and their needs (great work-life balance opportunities)

Cons

Bureaucracy Slow speed of decisions (and then changes to decisions) Compensation practices could be better Certain pockets still work through 'kiss-up-promotions' (sad but true!)

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.
