Pros

The company is very clean and there is free coffee. Also the location in Berlin is nice.

Cons

Hierarchy to the max. If you are not white, male, German, forget it...you are out. Managers with very poor leadership skills. No decisions, no innovation, only endless power point presentations. The only focus is the internal politics and how to create relationship to get promoted. The frustration of the employees, you can almost touch it in the air. Look in the other Social Media channels..there are hundreds of Heads, SVPs, VPs, CIOs.... how can it be possible? Low performance is more then welcome in this company. My advice to you: run the fastest you can from Bayer.

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.
