Pros

Can be very consistent. Some of the people are very nice, genuine, and outgoing.

Cons

Big company. Very old. Inefficient use of resources. Only one product for the entire site. No future prospects for the company in terms of manufacturing new products. Cost cutting is the only goal of management, not innovation.

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.
