Pros

Some colleagues were good and collaborative

Cons

Appalling and dysfunctional culture in the CropScience - Location 360 engineering team. While a few individual engineers are capable, the team as a whole lacks perspective. Code quality is judged more by aesthetic adherence to obscure idioms than by functionality or resilience in production. There are no design reviews, PRs are accepted without proper and thorough tests. The result is a sluggish team with low standards—until a crisis erupts. This is not a high-tech environment. It's a fear-driven culture with weak leadership and no appreciation for diversity of thought or working style.

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.
