Pros

- good perks - decent hybrid work life

Cons

- poor management oversight, no commitment to LIFE - specially enabling functions have a lot of favouritism when it comes to TPAs even though you bring great feedback - there are some leaders who have been im same roles for years with poor reputation but they see no actions from leaders - passive german corporate heirarchy can be seen; e.g. Germans are always right, if a German says something its always right leaving regional teams guessing what their role is

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.
