Pros

Lots of opportunities for learning new skills. Other seed techs were generally good people to work with

Cons

Work too many hours for too many months of the year. The tech progression system for increasing pay was near impossible. I was an over achieve and made a point of meeting all the expectations on the form, but still didn’t receive an upgrade in pay because I had the year before. Too many new managers that don’t know anything about the facility. Seed plant would have operated fine if they cut 3/4 of the management.

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.
