Pros

Used to have a great culture. Used to include many diverse hybrid roles and promoted within but that ship has sailed.

Cons

Where do I start; Senior level leaders take the roles from their direct reports. (Keeping things classy); There is no process to anything internal; Bayer is cheap and does not like to spend the money on internal infrastructure; culture is poor; the pipeline is sad for US Pharma; they require the HQ folks to come to the office 3 days per week and hybrid roles have gone away; their secretive and not transparent even though they claim different; benefits are expensive; stock prices are an all time low: they cut dividends; financial outcome of the organization is bleak; our Annual Hq bonus are getting less and less; merit increases are not great ; long term incentives have lost 60k every year; DSO is a joke- it didn’t work when it was done at Genentech yet BA thinks it’s going to be great; lots of job eliminations that don’t seem to end; 5 waves of 90 day job cuts; too much back door decisions being made by the same people that made these poor decisions originally that landed us in the position they are in- no very intelligent!

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.
