Pros

Reasonable benefits and good research products. A good emphasis from the CEO (Dekkers) to reduce bureaucracy and simplify complex challenges.

Cons

Top heavy management who sometimes don't know much about how the work gets done in the field due to no hands on experience. Middle management not walking the talk of the CEO and lacking in flexibility to help employees grow.

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.
