Pros

Great people to work with. Some of the smartest and funniest co-workers I've ever had.

Cons

The worst management I've ever had. I was convinced to leave a career I was very happy with to join Sartorius and I've never had such a terrible regret in my life. Be prepared to be called by your manager every day you have vacation or take a sick day, then they'll criticize you because you can't answer your phone fast enough. They'll also remind you - repeatedly that even though you're salary, hitting your numbers, and overall doing your job if you're not moving your mouse every two minutes, they start recording it. There's no work-life balance. The open-door policy is a joke. Good luck trying to talk to HR. Do whatever management asks even if it's not in your contract because they will express otherwise why you're a horrible employee. Highly recommend not being a woman and working here.

Dear colleague, thank you for taking the time to write this review. Please make sure to also share your views and suggestions in our employee survey.

If you need further support to connect to the appropriate contact person, please e-mail us at: employer.communications@sartorius.com.

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.
