Pros

No pros to report about this team. This was the pipeline/platform/analytics teams in Bayer CropScience.

Cons

Clueless management and very high turnover. OMG. People placed into leadership IT roles with little or no management or technical experience. A patch-worked systems that is an embarrassment to be called a software development lifecycle. Critical software systems went down all the time with most of the time spent in bug fixing. A remote and dispersed team with some really odd personalities. A lot of insecure people just out to prove themselves, especially one that have been there for some time. A team leader who left that probably got booted out because of numerous hr issues against him. Really high turnover because management couldn't care less about building loyalty and cultivating talent.

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.
