Leica Microsystems Response
4y
Thank you very much for your feedback. The individual experiences you describe are unfortunately very negative. They clearly contradict our corporate values. As a team, we are dependent on having grievances addressed directly to implement necessary improvements. In addition to contacting supervisors, anonymous speak-up hotlines are available to all employees. We sincerely hope that you have taken up this opportunity, given what you have described. In our most recent employee survey, which was also anonymous, Leica Microsystems was rated positively in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and trust by a large majority of over 80% of the team. Our employees and managers work together to ensure a strong culture of inclusion and engage in open and honest dialogue to shape and continuously improve our culture on a day-to-day basis.

Pros

This is a great company with a very clear value proposition. The work genuinely matters, and you can really make a difference through what you do every day. There’s a strong sense of purpose, and it’s easy to see how individual contributions connect to the bigger picture. The people are another major strength. Talented, collaborative, and genuinely supportive colleagues make this a great environment to do meaningful work. It’s also a place where you can truly be yourself—differences are respected, and authenticity is valued. For those who are genuinely committed and willing to put in the effort, there are real career opportunities and room to grow. Overall, it’s a rewarding place where strong values, impactful work, and great people come together.
