Pros

Most of the people are great to work with and will share knowledge and experience. Benefits are fantastic.

Cons

Management is disconnected from the people doing the actual work. They lack understanding of the processes used and challenges faced day to day. Salary is lacking in my division. Other business lines make significantly more, probably because we are not a money making entity therefore not as valuable. Employee development is promised but not delivered. Favoritism is very evident. Poor performers are not held accountable.

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.
