Bayer reviews

- Leadership has varied from being empowering, inspiring and motivating in 2 departments that I was at, to a couple of other departments where it was conflict-ridden, personality-driven and ambiguous goal-setting - Very risk-averse culture in the U.S., and Germany is always interfering and micro-managing decisions affecting U.S. teams, projects, and business initiatives; long-term effect is that all the smart and visionary positions have migrated to Germany, and U.S. has mostly been reduced to the passenger seat - Executive suite and top management of Bayer is dominated by Germans. Top Management is represented by Group Leadership Circles (GLC-1, GLC-2, GLC-3); Very poor representation of non-Germans, who often times are equally talented if not more; non-German managers tend to leave to take on leadership posts at other US or European companies

Bad management and micro management is their philosophy. Too many layers and unneeded positions. Seems like the only people they promote are yes men who will do whatever the boss wants instead of the best candidate.
