Boehringer Ingelheim reviews

- Horrible for diversity and inclusion in leadership layers. Heard some leaders make statements that would raise eyebrows, especially today! - Very cliquey. If you are not in the “popular clique” aligned to senior leadership, will not get promoted. - Need to be white or German and a suck up to advance. - Leadership clueless and will not challenge the norm. - Backstabbing. People will smile at you in the hallways but trash talk you behind the scenes. Feels like “California” where people are all smiles and superficial. - Old portfolio of products. Haven’t really gone into areas that is groundbreaking for the industry recently. - U.S. employees spending time in Germany is a complete waste of time. Company sees it as opportunity to advance your career by taking higher level roles when returning to the U.S. However, colleagues spend 3-4 years in boring Ingelheim, which is a good 45 min. - 1hr from Frankfurt.

So much unprofessional managers, favoritism, and lots of unhappy people. Why do they stay, unfortunately long time employees are stuck with a skill set that cannot make them competitive outside of Fremont. They still are mostly paper-based even if they have electronic system that they did not fully validate. They are stuck with rigid old processes. No innovation and their quality systems are a joke, no value added metrics, overly complicated investigations, etc. There is no problem solving so lots of time and money are wasted. The pay is not competitive for the Bay Area, and the turnover is large because there are a lot of frustration with compliance issues that reoccur because no one pays attention to solutions. STAY FAR AWAY.
