Pros

Lots of overtime, very flexible schedule

Cons

Management is very one sided, if your ratting people out then your there favorite. There is no training everything is do this learn on your own do not mess up, oh lets not forget if you need to be trained it comes in the form of employees looking for any thing they can to make you look bad. And if you stand up to any automatic target. yea id say stay away from this place the cons definitely out way the pros.

Thank you for your feedback. Bachem recognizes that employees are our most valuable asset and critical to the success of our organization. As a result, Bachem is making significant efforts to improve employee training and development capabilities. Bachem is currently developing and implementing a new electronic training program with job specific curriculum, which is intended to ensure uniform and comprehensive training for all employees in all roles in the company. Bachem is also in the midst of an extensive managers training program, which we expect will improve the capabilities of our managers, especially with respect to employee development. Bachem expects all employees to be team players and to give their very best to every task and assignment. While we continue to work on improving our training and employee development capabilities, we do expect our employees to meet us half way and do their part by growing with us as well. Suggestions and ideas for improvement are always welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your experience while working at Bachem. Bachem strives to provide an engaging work environment with opportunities for career development. As a manufacturer of active pharmaceuticals, it should be recognized that Bachem must allow an appropriate amount of time for employee training and development, which assures both manufacturing quality and employee safety. If an employee feels ready for additional challenges and responsibilities, we encourage them to communicate this with their direct supervisor. Again, thank you for your feedback. Bachem wishes you a very successful future.

Pros

Not sure why there are these negative reviews, could be a disgruntled employee or two? But the environment is not like this all. In my experience, 2 years in the Vista facility, I have come to find this the place for me. Sure there have been some challenges as this is a new facility for Bachem, but to be fair these are challenges that come with the territory of acquiring a new facility. I’ve seen the progression and how things seem to be running much more smoothly. People are great, management has a realistic vision, and benefits are great!

Cons

There have been some bumps in the road with the transition, but I’m seeing these growing pains as a thing of the past.
