Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, friendly co-workers, decent work/life balance

Cons

Supervisors hire friends instead of most qualified people! A few years ago, hiring was based on seniority. Employees were more satisfied as they knew as long as they were good workers, they could move into other positions in a set time frame. Now, supervisors can hire whoever they want regardless of the qualified employees who are already employed with Bayer!

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.
