After 5 years, still finding itself after Acquisition

Senior staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Developers get a lot of flexibility in technology choices. Decisions related to software solutions are made by the (small) development teams. Managers are eager to protect developers from outside pressures and promote work/life balance.

Cons

Higher up the org, legacy-Bayer is used to pushing architectural decisions down from the top. Large infrastructure decisions seem to come from nowhere causing months of work, or pushback. The technical proficiency of my peers is hit or miss.

Large company where you get paid ok

They don't value their employees at all anymore. All the IT is run out of Germany, and they look on you like red headed step children.
