Our location in Germany
Working at Bristol Myers Squibb is fun!
The central location of Bristol Myers Squibb Headquarters as well as the infrastructure of the building invites you to enjoy your workspace. Whether on foot, bike, S-Bahn, tram or by car, the office building is centrally located on the Hackerbrücke in the heart of Munich.
For cyclists, “park” spaces are available in front of the building as well as in the underground car park. In addition, it is also possible to recharge electric cars in the garage during working hours.
Home office, virtual meetings and digital communications are our New Normal. Achieving our business goals, ownership and mutual trust form the basis for deciding where and how we work to best meet business needs. Working in the office means investing in the site for Bristol Myers Squibb. In 2021, we completely redesigned the office building, including not only the state-of-the-art and ergonomically sophisticated work stations and conference rooms, but also the newly created areas for informal exchange. In addition, the atrium as well as the redesigned canteen, retreat rooms, the work café with barista bar, the gym and in the summer, the rooftop terrace over Munich, are also inviting.
