Pros

A very coordinated, efficient and resourceful company with a strong pool of talent to learn from. Lots of internal initiatives to develop and learn about other functions. Great flexible benefits that are workable across all demographics of employees.

Cons

Efficiencies also means that your pay is less attractive than some of the other pharma companies out there. Their incentive system is now linked to the company as a whole, so individual performance is only linked to whether you keep your job or not.

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.
