Pros

No Pros. Working there is a career destroyer.

Cons

- Others steal your ideas openly and present them somewhere else as their own. - No chance for any career development. - Talking about promotions or raises is bad behaviour. - Higher positions are given to certain people (politics). - Bossy characters in management. - Management gets to stop running projects just because of politics (they give same project to someone else). - Crazy number of acquisitions in a very limited time. People bring their own branches with them. Redundant positions (older positions) get sacrificed with no vision. - The company is kicking out their scientists and experts (less expert product knowledge) leads to very bad customer troubleshooting and overall experience. - Company is killing process and product development. They just do webinars to pretend they have development. - If you show you are hard working, you are seen as a risk & competition that must be disposed of. - Some managers accept to do internal interviews for candidates even though they were rejected from the start (complete hiring chaos). - They fund projects only to kill them halfway through with no return on investment (most projects are killed off with 0 ROI). - Some sites are nearly empty with very little number of employees. - Even though they want to focus on sales, they have trouble selling their services (very poor service mgmt.). They expect massive solutions from junior sales positions not their managers. - Customer confidence dropping at a very fast rate. They only care about selling and they don't have any strategy to secure returning customers. - Total chaos in upper management and no vision. Some people leave the organization in unexpected chaotic ways with no replacements. - Customers are the most important as they claim and employees are the least important (no employee appreciation, very toxic environment of overworking people). - They speak about politics and pick sides in meetings and global townhalls (totally unprofessional).

Pros

Strong technical expertise within the organization. Exposure to a broad range of customers and applications.

Cons

My experience at this company was disappointing due to a lack of transparency, consistency, and fairness in enforcement of company policy. Compensation for employees in the same or similar roles varied significantly, with decisions often appearing to be based on individual manager discretion rather than clear, objective criteria. I also observed what appeared to be gender bias in pay decisions. Additionally, there were employees who contributed very little while others carried a disproportionate workload. This was extremely demotivating for those who worked hard, as there appeared to be little recognition or reward for taking on additional responsibility and delivering results.

Dear former colleague, thank you for sharing your experience here. Your feedback on policy enforcement, potential gender bias, and uneven workload describes conditions that are not in line with what we aim for as an employer. What we can’t tell from your review is whether you raised these concerns internally during your time with us – for example with your manager, HR, or through our employee survey. If you haven’t done so, please feel free to provide more context via email at employer.communications@sartorius.com. We will forward your feedback to the appropriate internal contacts. Important note: If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination based on gender at Sartorius, please report this directly to our Compliance Team either by email at compliance@sartorius.com or by anonymously submitting a report via the Whistleblower Portal: https://www.bkms-system.net/bkwebanon/report/clientInfo?cin=20sarto15.
