Pros

Solid company that is not going away or impacted significantly by changes in the market place. Large US base means benefits are reasonable. Generally there are no surprises - it's manufacturing, so the business is straightforward. Roles are pretty clear.

Cons

Definitely a German company doing business in the US. Expect to have ex-pat Germans in key roles and for them to shuttle back and forth to Germany every few years. German jobs will come first - not a lot of Creativity in creating jobs.

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.
