Pros

Great environment to work in. A lot of perks for employees and contractors alike. Would consider working there again as a regular full time employee.

Cons

Worked as a contractor for approximately seven months with no guarantee to be hired regular full time. Coworker worked there for five years as a contractor, that's just too long and feel it's using good people instead of direct hire.

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.
