Bayer reviews about "manager"

Reduced job security as compared to before Despite a big clean up there are still too many managers with egos Less advancement opportunities

Bad managers mostly cleaned up with DSO.

No cons. Great place to work

- Career growth is close to non-existing - with "DSO" changes, most of the middle managers were laid off, so it's almost impossible to get a promotion. Also, there's no clear career path - everyone will tell you "yeah, you need to be proactive, participate in different initiatives yadda yadda yadda", but it would not guarantee anything. - Not an IT company: the engineering culture is OKish, but depends on the team you'll join. Plus, don't expect extremely interesting/challenging tasks. - Prepare to be torn between US and Warsaw offices. You'll have different managers (with their own interests) and team-members from both locations, which results in blurred vision of your own priorities.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What began as a well-meaning Dynamic Shared Ownership model has, in practice, slowed progress and deepened bureaucracy. With team-lead and mid-level manager roles removed, many strong scientists and leaders have become frustrated and left. Meanwhile, younger talent is departing as advancement opportunities grow scarce.

Toxic managers who will berate you in meetings. Women beware. No career opportunities, no growth, high stress for some, no stress for others. Only recommend to men, not women.

Work-life balance, ongoing multiple projects and shrinking skills.

Hybrid work schedule, bomb shelter, free lunches.
