Pros

Ever growing. Robust company. Some nice team members. Very knowledgeable.

Cons

Employees are not valued for their successful contributions.It's common to stay in your position for 7-8 years without any promotion. Poor choice of line managers. Some are pretty much clueless and have it so easy!. Study Managers are heavily hammered with all sorts of changes. No rewards or thank you even. They can't give feedback on medical leads in their teams but the latter can give feedback on them and are taken like a bible. Very hard to move up unless you have a good connection inside.

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.
