Pros

International company that's very inclusive and which does believe in its mission: Health for all, hunger for none. Depending on the team, work/life balance can be great.

Cons

Re-orgs have created a 50+ employee to manager dynamic, which can widely span job titles and functions. The career ladder is still being redesigned since 2024, and won't be launched until 2027, so there is no formal advancement. The advice is to do the work that helps Bayer achieve its missions, and worry about appropriate compensation later. Salaries are uncompetitive. Benefits are abysmal.
