Pros

Parts of the company still value technology and cutting edge IT, history of treating employees (and contractors for that matter) very well

Cons

Legacy Bayer does not value diversity as much as it used to, HR still uses the Hay model to evaluate positions and compensation, less forward thinking demonstrated since Monsanto purchased by Bayer. Compensation levels have decreased for many since they acquired Monsanto resulting in a continual talent exodus.

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.
