Pros

Bayer has an understanding human resource department and upper management. There is a good amount of leeway for who have to deal with personal issues such as school, family, health etc.

Cons

Over management by lower management, there are quite a few micro managers and they are not fun to work with. Bayer need to teach their managers how to be competent managers. This problem started with the acquirement of a smaller company which led to talent exodus. people in lower positions were moved up but some of them are not fully trained to be managers or have not had enough management experience.

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.
