Bachem reviews

The company grows very fast at the expense of employee wellbeing. As stated in many reviews, the management is weak and unknowledgeable. There is a lack of communication and the quality of the product is not maintained. Instead there is an emphasis on ambitions which lead nowhere. If you would like to satisfy your manager, you have to follow their instructions and be very quite. The QC department is a grave yard where quality goes the die. Production has a lot of people who are recently hired, that just sit outside for hours between processes. Facility department it is a separate world with their own rules. QA department has only a couple of very helpful service people with high standards of providing answers to any questions you may have. With those select few you can receive quick responses with a good attitude. The others just give you answer to please their or your manager. CF QA department has their own plans and do not bother to share with anybody. No one department has a real team. The phrase "I just work here" is so popular in Vista facility. The people who know what they do are just pushed down by management and not allowed to speak up. All good ideas to improve or simplify the process are not welcome. Most of the time the manager will give you a hard time if you try to do things the right way instead of the manager way. It is so sad and it should change.

This place is such a nightmare. I worked there for 2 years, a couple of years ago and I still have PTSD from it. As everyone else has mentioned already, the management is the biggest problem. Basically, they hire based on if they have a masters or a phd, not actual qualifications, job/management experience, or even basic social skills. My boss was a joke, and yet she is still there. The break room at Kashiwa is disgusting; something so basic, and they never fixed it. Many safety violations throughout. The HR department is so small (think 1 person) for such a big company. They look the other way at all the things going on. Clearly, people are unhappy there, and even if they complain, it goes nowhere. Low salaries, like someone at In & Out or Costco make way more than a sales person at Bachem haha! It's really all a big joke.
