Pros

There is certainly Ag and HR expertise. It is a job that pays money.

Cons

Unfortunately, leadership comes off as out of touch and insincere. Employees usually learn of key initiatives or impactful commitments via the media or news instead of hearing it from leadership, including those employees who would be working directly on the publicized efforts. There is no input from employees and any attempt to offer opportunity for input is performative. Very top-down, control and command.

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.
