Pros

Both my manager and her manager were very accessible. Everyone I spoke to was extremely positive about their job and repeatedly told me what a great company Bayer is. Onsite cafeteria and gym are quality perks. The recently renovated main building is beautiful, as long as you don't mind the open office design. Plenty of exposure to upper-level employees in multiple departments.

Cons

Many of the employees are nearing retirement after a lifetime at Bayer. There are few recent college graduates in non-sales roles. Compensation was on the low side. Actual work was rewarding but different from job description.

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.
