Pros

Some hard working and dedicated colleagues still remain at "worker" levels. It is sometimes possible to work around Bayer's obstructive bureaucracy.

Cons

Rounds of layoffs are branded as "YYYY Transformation" and come every other year have only added to Bayer's dysfunctional organization. Ineffective executive leadership, always behind the times are now implementing mass outsourcing and globalization programs that were tried and abandoned years ago by competitors.

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.
