This review is not a true reflection of Bachem. Bachem employs a thorough approach to track hours worked and to pay our team members accurately. We diligently comply with all labor and wage laws. Furthermore, Bachem takes all employees concerns seriously and addresses them thoroughly and professionally. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind, treating all of our team members equally and respectfully.

Thank you for your feedback. As a successful and fast growing business, leadership demands require continuous development of the management team. This provides opportunities at Bachem along with associated challenges. As with all life science companies, Bachem is competing in a very strong employment market. Bachem offers attractive jobs with competitive compensation packages. Bachem is committed to the development of our team members, with significant investments being made in training programs and the recent establishment of an apprenticeship program in the Americas. Do not discount on-the-job experience, which is an important element in career development. Having experience with an industry leader such as Bachem is invaluable. We also view career development as a two-way street. As a result, we encourage you to be proactive in your career development at Bachem by engaging your direct supervisor in meaningful personal development planning. We wish you success, as well as a long and fulfilling career with Bachem!

Thank you for your feedback. We do not agree with your comments regarding the Bachem’s facilities and also the benefits that we provide to our employees. Bachem provides incredible benefits including a 401k plan. We do strive to set clear expectations for new hires as well as seasoned employees. While construction has required some movement of workspaces, it also provides state of the art manufacturing and laboratory space to support the growth of our business, which in turn provides growth opportunities for our Bachem team members. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your input and wish you success in your future career path.
