Pros

Rather save and "stable" work environment where you don't need to be afraid of getting fired for no reason. They also offer a lot for work life balance and health benefits, you can have free check ups in their hospital or take part in courses for free or at a lower price. They also offer "family time" and flexy-time if you need to work less for a limited amount of time due to family matters.

Cons

At the moment, most employees do not understand why we take over Monsanto which clearly affects our positive Bayer image.

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.
