Pros

Great health and retirement benefits. Year Bonus depend on the overall performance of the company, so they bonus can go up or down. The last couple of years because of poor performance in the agriculture business, bonus were poor but saved thanks to the good performance of the pharmaceutical business. Company adapted very well to the WFH environment and was of the first in the area to put their employees first

Cons

Still lots of changes happening after the change from Monsanto to Bayer. Reorganizations and roles reductions still happening

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.
