Pros

Very flexible scheduling, generous benefits and it is easy to take time off. If you are looking for a place that is not high pressure, then this place is for you.

Cons

Very process driven organization that does not reward or encourage innovation. Rule by consensus building makes it very difficult to make changes.

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.
