Pros

A lot of your coworkers and senior technicians will be some of the best people you meet. The work is pretty simple to wrap your head around and none of it ever feels too overwhelming no matter how hectic it can get (it can get hectic).

Cons

The upper management only look out for themselves and are never really interested in helping the lower level lab techs succeed because we are all dispensable. They even took away the requirement for a bachelor’s degree and when prompted that if people with bachelors degrees would get a raise for being overqualified their response was “no, that’s just how life works”

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.
