Pros

Many jobs at Bachem were moved to home offices during the pandemic. Recently, many of those jobs were made into permanent work-from-home positions. This is a huge benefit.

Cons

Lack of personal interaction (but the pros outweigh the cons).

We are happy that you are part of the Bachem family!!! Glad to know that you have been receptive to the option of working from home. We are pleased to have this option available for our employees whose job does not require them to be physically present at the worksite. More staff members are coming on-site periodically for team meetings and to have face-to-face interactions with colleagues. If this is not happening for you, please discuss with your manager your desire to make regular on-site visits to get the personal interactions that you are missing. Be Safe and Healthy.
