Pros

Nice facility, good cafeteria, Company store selling Bayer products for very cheap price and Short-term / Long-term bonus + retirement pension.

Cons

Too much politics. One would get promoted ONLY if you butter up senior management. Otherwise, you are treated as a slave. HR group is absolutely non-functional and cater to management demands. No accountability when product batches get rejected. Berkeley site has remained single commercial product site for last 15+ years.

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.
