We want to thank you for your openness and take your suggestions for improvement regarding more transparent communication; there will be significant changes in the future concerning this. While we are in the midst of a considerable change, we know the results will position Bayer for the next 100 years, putting customer needs at the center, and, instead of work moving up and down a layered org chart, we will put more power in the hands of those doing the work sparking cross-functional teams and flow resources towards projects that focus on our mission: Health for all, Hunger for none. All the best to you!

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.
