Pros

Nice headquaters in Warsaw Poland.

Cons

Lack of hard skills within the team. It is rare to find an actual qualified person for the job. The senior positions are usually filled with people who have no idea how and why you do stuff. It is uncanny because you would expect such a thing from a Project manager or a non-tech team leader, but from a fellas with higher rank and same position? Again... you like coffee, a place for you. You want to gain new skills, skip.

Pros

International company that's very inclusive and which does believe in its mission: Health for all, hunger for none. Depending on the team, work/life balance can be great.

Cons

Re-orgs have created a 50+ employee to manager dynamic, which can widely span job titles and functions. The career ladder is still being redesigned since 2024, and won't be launched until 2027, so there is no formal advancement. The advice is to do the work that helps Bayer achieve its missions, and worry about appropriate compensation later. Salaries are uncompetitive. Benefits are abysmal.
