Pros

Good benefits, and a meaningful mission. The products are innovative and industry-relevant, with a strong connection to real-world field operations. The work supports agricultural operations directly, where technology creates visible, practical impact.

Cons

The organization seems to prioritize stability and proven solutions over rapid experimentation with new technologies. The company seems to prioritize reliability and continuity, which has value, but efficiency, process optimization, and modernization appear to move more slowly than in more technology-driven environments.

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.
