Pros

The people are about as nice as you'll find anywhere, the products are usually in the top 3 per category, its a very comfortable environment where everyone is treated with respect.

Cons

People don't leave often so growth opportunities are limited, particularly once you reach a certain mgt level. Its a very conservative company, so out of the box thinking is limited. Its a great place to work if you are a woman with a good head on your shoulders, as mgt is EAGER to advance women these days.

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.
