Pros

Great pay, nice campus location, friendly co-workers, technology is better after Windows/Office upgrade

Cons

Poor communication from management; complex corporate structure makes it hard to know who to listen to or follow; constantly-changing directives really interrupts progress and project completion; some management has been there too long and is not competent; seems like they reward more for longevity than performance

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.
