Pros

Bayer's ambition is to remain a big, innovative player in the pharmaceutical industry. The company is currently going through a major transition by acquiring smaller, very promising biotech companies and divesting older business/products. This puts Bayer right on track and will strengthen the product pipeline/portfolio for the next years.

Cons

Historically, Bayer is regarded as a very conservative company with "old", un-innovative men running the business. In part, this is still the case, even though I see constant improvement. Change needs time in a big company like Bayer

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.
