Pros

Excellent benefits, Flexible working, Fab offices in Green park Reading, variety in daily work - never a dull monent, Bayer UK Managing Director is FANTASTIC!

Cons

Too much work, need more headcount or part time workers to prevent burnout! Favouritism is rife; culture of turning a blind eye to manager bullying, needs to stop! HR seems to be lame ducks?

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.
