Pros

Flexible/Hybrid Working , Food, Cab services , Medical benefits etc Globally its good company but in India its working culture is total garbage due to management.

Cons

India top management is highly biased/Corrupt and work only for its own benefits, Favoritism prevails too much. Local HR is also highly corrupt & involved in politics even harm employees for own benefit.Employee welfare comes last priority amid politics. There is no harmony among people. Due to this kind of working atmosphere they are indirectly harming company growth and reputation.

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
