Pros

Benefits, some flexibility with day to day scheduling

Cons

Incompetent, useless, pathetic management. It's a conglomerate of incapable people attempting to micromanage every aspect. Terribly toxic environment provoked and encouraged my management. They have an SLT (Senior Leadership Team) but all they do is sit in meetings with one another. They have no concept of how any of the business operates beyond Zoom calls with each other. Lonza, please help this site. This is such a poor representation of your company. The people in management aren't even qualified to do the work they are in charge of and they are in incapable of the most basic aspects of management.

Pros

Compensation (for higher level associates/senior management positions)

Cons

1) Work/life balance - leaders don't honor paid time off. Many teams expect you to be available during paid time off periods 2) Benefits - employer doesn't offer employer-subsidized vision insurance 3) Holidays - employer doesn't offer MLK Day and Juneteeth as paid days off, indicating how little they value diversity, inclusion, and belonging 4) Promotions - political; not based on merit 5) Mandated 5 day return-to-office to enable "in person collaboration" while at the same time offshoring jobs to cheaper markets. 6) PTO - based on tenure, but I think Lonza prefers high turnover so they don't have to give people time off (if they even honor it in the first place - see con 1) 7) Lack of harmonization - for an established CDMO, I was surprised at the level of misalignment between sites and the lack of standardization of processes
