This works well in the company
- Very innovative and progressive product range
- Teamwork and positive attitude among employees
- Good image of the employer (but mainly in the Thurgau region)
This could be improved
- Some of the office space is a bit outdated
- The management style and trust in employees could be better
- Arriving in 2024 (hybrid working, communication, workplaces)
- Internal canteen (Sensorama) could be better organized
- More transparent and regular communication (turnover, innovations, progress, events, etc.)

This works well in the company
A family-run but international company offers a good mix. Long-term orientated and also prepared to invest in future-oriented, innovative topics. Working with colleagues and customers from all over the world and different markets makes every day different and exciting.
As a market-orientated company, product management (where I work) has a strong position in Baumer and my input and ideas are always taken seriously from the upper management.
Within Baumer, the product management takes an important role working closely together with R&D, marketing, sales, order fullfilment, business operation and other roles/departments.
This could be improved
There is always room for improvement, even at Baumer.
As is typical for companies that reach a certain size, it is a challenge to keep up the speed/pace while maintaining the processes for high-quality output (products, information, marketing, ...). Finding a good compromise and regulating neither too much nor too little is probably a lifelong process.
