Concerns About Favoritism in the North American Crop Science Division

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance and no micromanagement.

Cons

Favoritism within the workplace can be challenging, and at the North American crop science division of Bayer, it feels particularly concerning. It seems that some individuals, despite lacking the necessary qualifications, continue to be praised and promoted into more secure roles, which may have contributed to ongoing financial challenges and layoffs. This pattern has left many qualified professionals feeling undervalued and overlooked for growth opportunities.

Great, well lubricated machine

Business Outlook

Pros

A very coordinated, efficient and resourceful company with a strong pool of talent to learn from. Lots of internal initiatives to develop and learn about other functions. Great flexible benefits that are workable across all demographics of employees.

Cons

Efficiencies also means that your pay is less attractive than some of the other pharma companies out there. Their incentive system is now linked to the company as a whole, so individual performance is only linked to whether you keep your job or not.
