Pros

It is an easy job to get through one of several temp agencies, and the work is simple. There is a four day work week.

Cons

A member of upper management here once said "we will work them like dogs" in reference to increasing productivity by changing to a seven day. It is reflective of the culture. Also, in Saxonburg nearly all of the Process Leads are men while majority of the lower workers are women, regardless of tenure with the company. Nobody seems to notice. For the short time I worked there, it felt like stepping back in time.

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.
