Pros

Bayer is a recognizable brand around the world, and it had positive brand equity in the years before the company acquired Monsanto. Smart, creative, driven people who believe in the mission Trusted consumer brands (Bayer Aspirin, Aleve, Flintstones, Claritin, etc) Pharmaceutical brands that are making a difference for patience Philanthropic efforts and giving back

Cons

Acquistion of Monsanto has contributed greatly to the company's downfall Lots of restructuring in recent years to remove management levels which led to continued layoffs Change fatigue

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.
