Pros

Company cares about your health, safety and also demonstrates that through provided benefits / incentives.

Cons

Politics govern direction of projects, at times is counter productive and undermines the science. Science caters to marketing goals, which is good and bad. Managers tend to over stretch claims of the research for sake of making their specific group look good and boost their own careers.

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.
