Went downhill fast!

Pros

I was with Monsanto for over a decade and loved it. Some of the best people I have ever worked with and amazing benefits.

Cons

After the Bayer takeover, things went downhill fast. I don't know if it is a cultural thing with Bayer or just the norm for buyouts. Best decision I made was to leave and go on to something different.

Pros

Bonuses are good once you’ve stayed long enough AND stock is performing

Cons

It a male oriented German culture that speaks a lot about diversity but in fact top leaders in Germany give little opportunity to non-Germans. Females are expected to be seen and not heard. If you aren’t at least third generation German with his company, forget it

Pros

Stability, decent employee benefits and 401k, industry average to above management bonus program, and talented mid to lower level workforce.

Cons

Decision by consensus, excessive bureaucracy/red tape, conservative execution that limits out of box thinking, unrealistic expectations at the VP and above level, and internal politics which often lead to inconsistent decisions.
