Pros

Stability, decent employee benefits and 401k, industry average to above management bonus program, and talented mid to lower level workforce.

Cons

Decision by consensus, excessive bureaucracy/red tape, conservative execution that limits out of box thinking, unrealistic expectations at the VP and above level, and internal politics which often lead to inconsistent decisions.

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.
