Pros
On the job educational opportunities -You can get your feet wet-learn GMP, purification, cell culture if you truly desire to, because Lonza is LEAN Flexible schedule in some groups-but not too flexible Its the best game in town and they know it -NH is not known for big business or technology -Short, easy commute in NH -Subsidized and decent cafeteria -Great people, the culture may be lacking, but I liked most people that worked there
Cons
-Too lean- after a survey chatting with coworkers, EVERYONE put "overworked, underpaid, stressed" or some variation of synonyms for those words -Underpaid if you have a technical or science background They know that you can get 20-30k more to go to Mass, but they constantly remind you that you work in NH. Probably only MSAT, engineering , or manufacturing supervisors would be a threat or consideration to, everyone elses job is too cushy to do that Removed benefits -9/80 program used to exist to give summer hours or every other friday off-nixed -Now pushing a worse health plan on people -All insurance (Matrix) and benefits are from cut rate companies which were a horror to deal with for disability -You can go to school at SNHU (which is online) or UNH, but they will push not to. SNHU was offered as a rather useless degree in the field. -Management at many levels is lacking- some of the new blood is good, but some people fell into roles they didn't belong in
