Pros

Have loved the managers and coworkers that I have met and I have been on some major ground breaking projects that have broadened my knowledge on the agriculture space as a whole

Cons

Over the last 3 years of working for Climate/Bayer they have jumped between different development paradigms and not really taken a good chunk of time to see how it is working before abandoning it and jumping to another one.

Thank you for sharing your review on Glassdoor. We want to put customer needs, not the CEO or other leaders, at the center, and, instead of work moving up and down a layered org chart, we will put more power in the hands of those doing the work. We want to spark cross-functional teams and flow resources towards projects that focus on our mission: Health for all, Hunger for none. We believe DSO is the right direction for Bayer.

Pros

International company that's very inclusive and which does believe in its mission: Health for all, hunger for none. Depending on the team, work/life balance can be great.

Cons

Re-orgs have created a 50+ employee to manager dynamic, which can widely span job titles and functions. The career ladder is still being redesigned since 2024, and won't be launched until 2027, so there is no formal advancement. The advice is to do the work that helps Bayer achieve its missions, and worry about appropriate compensation later. Salaries are uncompetitive. Benefits are abysmal.
