Pros

Excellent compensation packages with good 401k match, health benefits, bonus percentage and vacation. Excellent colleagues and talented teams.

Cons

Acquisition of Monsanto and its legal battles have hurt the company finances and sunk the stock value significantly. Due to struggling cash flows, they have been laying off talented & senior employees every year and the teams are losing talent and experienced leadership.

Pros

Bayer sounds great - "health for all, hunger for none". and "dynamic shared ownership". There are some truly amazing people working at Bayer.

Cons

But it's "health for all, hunger for none" and "dynamic shared ownership" are bogus. So many people who embraced DSO were let go for voicing their opinions. The toxic leaders made the decisions, and the organization was not truly ready for Bill Anderson's call to action. It's profits first, not people. I believed - but it saddens me to write that I was wrong.
