Pros

Your job will always be safe, regardless of competence. This allows time for an individual to learn the position and pick up some extra skills.

Cons

Vastly different promoting schemes depending on the group (API vs. development) and manager. Overall disconnect between upper/middle management and on the floor personnel. As mentioned elsewhere, groups (development, API, Manufacturing Sciences) and unit operations (upstream, downstream) are in silos and are never aware of what the other is doing or capable of.

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.
