Pros

Fast moving, high responsibility, aging work force with opportunity for younger professionals. In addition, the company benefits and concentration of treating the employee well far exceed my other past employers.

Cons

A strong German company that still values German employees over Americans and PhDs dominate the management. If you don not have the above listed attributes, your advancement will be limited.

Pros

Better pay than other companies My team - full of hardworking and knowledgable individuals.

Cons

Leadership/Management - can be micromanaging at times and not a lot of guidance/resources being provided. Projects can change swiftly at Bayer, and most of the times there's no background context given. Work/life balance - asked to be "flexible" with schedule for last-minute requests, then criticized for having life/responsibilities outside of work. Also, these last minute requests reflect poor planning on management. Lack of team morale - seems like it's all work and not a lot of play. Burnout culture and not a lot of incentives to perform better.
