Pros

Benefits are good, but eventually not worth the cons of working for a German company. U.S. Led functions like sales and marketing are able to work independently of the German influence.

Cons

All admin functions are run by expats, normally German, and the U.S. work environment reflects the German management. There is no room for advancement within the admin functions since they rotate German colleagues into the jobs about every 3 years. Each new leader wants to put their stamp on the groups to make an impression in Germany. And then they move on.

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.
