Pros

Great entry level experience. It’s a great place to get your foot in the door if you want to pursue research and development field. Very intriguing research.

Cons

The divide between full time employees and contractors is a big con. Lots of work to support the teams experiments with no reward, no benefits, no bonus, and no PTO. It is difficult to find a FT position to transition into.

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.
