Pros

Good pay, good benefits, nothing else

Cons

Gee, where do I start. Not a good place if you want to stay in a career specialty. Marketing people are typically sales people, NOT strategic marketers. They talk Customer centricity, but those who drink the Monsanto Wall Street kool-aid DO NOT care about the farmer, it's all about profits. The person who "sucks up" the most will go far, no matter their qualifications. The company cares about diversity and women, and will do anything to help them succeed.....anyone else, not so much.

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.
