A certified Great Place To Work®

What is a Great Place To Work®?

According to the Great Place To Work® Institute, it’s “a place where employees of all generations can develop personally and professionally, where people trust and support each other, where they take pride in their work, and where working with their colleagues is fun. A Great Place To Work® is a place where you can realize your potential.”

We’re proud to be officially certified as a Great Place To Work® in five of our locations: Switzerland, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Below, we’ve highlighted some of the results from our latest employee survey so you can get a feel for what it’s like to work with us.

An overall great place to work

75% agree that, taking everything into account, this is a great place to work.

This score reflects how our people experience BASE across key areas such as trust, values, collaboration, and leadership. While we’re proud of the result, we see it as a benchmark – and we’re committed to building an even better workplace every year.

Work-life balance

89% agree that their people manager supports them in having a good work-life balance.

We believe that balance isn’t just good for people – it’s good for business. Through a flexible and hybrid work model, we give our employees the autonomy to manage their time in ways that support both personal well-being and professional performance.

No micro-management

91% agree that management trusts people to do a good job without watching over their shoulder.

For four consecutive years, our score has remained at the top for this parameter. And it’s no surprise, as giving people responsibilities and trusting them to do a great job is a big part of our values. By fostering a strong sense of trust within our organization, we empower each team member to achieve excellent results.

Empowered to take responsibility

87% of our people agree they’re given a lot of responsibility.

Responsibility isn’t something you have to earn – it’s something you’re trusted with from day one. Whether you’re leading a project or supporting a client, we believe in giving people the space to grow, take initiative, and make an impact. It’s a culture of ownership – but never isolation. Our teams collaborate across borders, share knowledge, and support one another in delivering great results.

Great onboarding experience

91% agree they were made to feel welcome when they joined the company.

On this result, we see a reflection of our commitment to inclusivity and well-being. With our “buddy” arrangement and a carefully planned onboarding program, we do our best to make every new employee feel included from day one. Our emphasis on cultivating a nurturing workspace does not go unnoticed, as a high percentage of people report being made to feel welcome when joining us.

Embracing diversity and inclusion

93% agree that BASE life science is a fair and inclusive workplace - regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation.

This result reflects more than just policies – it speaks to the everyday experience of working here. We’re proud to foster an environment where people from all backgrounds feel respected, valued, and empowered to contribute fully.
