Good Experience

Pros

Overall good experience but most of the good qualities are left over from Monsanto. After the Bayer acquisition it gradually got worse. Good pay and benefits. Modern tech stack.

Cons

Big beaurocracy of a large company. After Bayer acquired Monsanto things started to slide downhill.

Pros

Other pee-ons to enjoy your misery with.

Cons

Occurrence system for missed punches is not practical. (Ex: gain points towards a write-up because a colleague needs something, and you get dragged back to work before you can finish your lunch period). I’ve worked through a lot of unpaid lunches. Kiss your summer vacations good-bye. Expect to work 6 days a week most of the spring, summer, fall.

DO NOT join Bayer

Pros

The company is very clean and there is free coffee. Also the location in Berlin is nice.

Cons

Hierarchy to the max. If you are not white, male, German, forget it...you are out. Managers with very poor leadership skills. No decisions, no innovation, only endless power point presentations. The only focus is the internal politics and how to create relationship to get promoted. The frustration of the employees, you can almost touch it in the air. Look in the other Social Media channels..there are hundreds of Heads, SVPs, VPs, CIOs.... how can it be possible? Low performance is more then welcome in this company. My advice to you: run the fastest you can from Bayer.
