Pros

As a company based in Germany, their policies are somewhat pro-employee.

Cons

In the Procurement department, management didn't do their homework discovering and supporting those employees who possess integrity and do quality work; instead, they only looked to promote bullies or BS-ers or butt-kissers - or inexperienced MBAs whom they can control. Continuous re-organizations distract their people from doing the most important work. Management in Germany showed no regard to culture issues and limited PTO in the USA. They promoted internally all the good things the company is doing, yet were seriously behind on sustainability.

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.
