Pros

Work life balance (pre-RTO, anyway)

Cons

Leadership continues to peddle an untested new way of working that the new CEO invented. The purpose appears to be to gaslight us into feeling we have ownership of decisions that impact ourselves and our customers, when in reality the former leadership teams have simply retreated into shadowy "champion squads" and continue to make decrees that help no one but themselves. You can expect the CEO to take his bonus after layoffs and ride away into the sunset, leaving in ruins what used to be a vibrant and meaningful place to work.

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.
