Pros

I'm treated well by the scientists on my team. My input on experimental design and analysis is taken seriously. The work is mostly interesting and it's fun to work and collaborate with the scientists and other lab technicians.

Cons

Entry level positions for prospective employees with a bachelors degree are all through a contracting firm, as far as I can tell. Contracting kinda sucks because there's no paid time off or medical benefits. Bayer could do better but chooses not to.

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.
