Pros

There are a lot of growth in the company in the next 3 years, if you can last that long, good for you

Cons

well, where do I start? lack of leadership from Upper Management results in horrible hours and extremely long days. when things go wrong, they like to blame everyone except for themselves for the delay. Project managers are clueless and promise insane due dates to the customers.

Pros

Nice coworkers. Excellent medical benefits. Okay if you can't get a job anywhere else and want to get your foot in the door in the industry.

Cons

What may have once been a good company has deteriorated to the point that employees that remain are mostly unhappy. So many people are leaving or looking to leave. They also had mass layoffs. People are unhappy with the poor management. They talk about safety but don't reinforce good standards. Leadership is mediocre at the top. HR is next to useless. There are little to no development opportunities. They are losing business and they can blame it on external factors, but much has to do with the way the run things internally. This has much to do with why the remaining employees are not happy. They also break many promises. They won't be able to stop the employees from leaving if they don't truly care about them. Pretending to care isn't the same as really caring. There are many weak leaders in production who don't belong, but Bachem does nothing about them. And offering below market salaries, while insisting they pay market, doesn't help.

Pros

Benefits, [Glass Door wants 5 words]

Cons

Very cliquish and immature work environment. Some Negative gossip goes unchecked. High turnover in affected departments. Retaliation is normal. Some managers are inexperienced at actually managing personnel and it shows.
