Pros

Laid back work-life balance, salary is adequate, hybrid work could be extended to almost being a remote.

Cons

- Career growth is close to non-existing - with "DSO" changes, most of the middle managers were laid off, so it's almost impossible to get a promotion. Also, there's no clear career path - everyone will tell you "yeah, you need to be proactive, participate in different initiatives yadda yadda yadda", but it would not guarantee anything. - Not an IT company: the engineering culture is OKish, but depends on the team you'll join. Plus, don't expect extremely interesting/challenging tasks. - Prepare to be torn between US and Warsaw offices. You'll have different managers (with their own interests) and team-members from both locations, which results in blurred vision of your own priorities.

Pros

- Environment full of respect - Reasonable short and long-term incentives - Hunger for innovation and to try new things in some areas

Cons

The ongoing glyphosate lawsuit could be influencing the company’s investment decisions. Like many organizations, Bayer regularly assesses the ROI of its business units, and financial pressures may increase the likelihood of restructuring or divesting certain departments.
