Pros

The company did allow for a pretty relaxed work environment in which it was stringent upon a dress code nor a strict schedule

Cons

Where to start: Menial pay-I have a graduate degree and friends with no college education make more, no benefits-(well you can opt for some benefits if you want to forfeit the equivalent of two paychecks), no management skills of managers rarely did employees know what they were supposed to be doing and communication was rare. Do not take any suggestions from employees and are threatened by someone with a higher education level than themselves. Gave two week notice and was let go the next morning getting to work and had only made it two steps out of vehicle.

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.
