Pros

Some of the leaders are exceptional - business focused, fair and care about developing capabilities and staff. Strong pipeline with good future prospects

Cons

German centric organization. Global roles require intense networking with German leadership. Certain German leaders are not very capable but in place. Extremely process driven organization and some parts are more about activities than accomplishments.

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.
