A Life Sciences Joke

Pros

There is free parking which is nice.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. Horrible pay scale. Horrible communication. You will be held to an extremely high standard and will probably not be paid anywhere near a living wage unless you live with a bunch of roommates or live at home. I cant speak for Lonza Global, only for Walkersville. The culture seems to be one of 'hire anyone and then train them'...so if you have a degree or experience in manufacturing, bio-tech, lab, life sciences, etc dont be surprised when someone who was selling used cars 3 weeks ago is talking down to you.

Such Incompetence

Pros

Opportunity to learn gene and cell therapy technology. Great benefits.

Cons

Too many mistakes, from top to bottom. Failing results pass, with justification. Too much emphasis on risk assessment which doesn't mean much.

Pros

The benifits are pretty good

Cons

Management is horrible the cover ups in that place are disgusting and quite frankly illegal there is no real training so no one knows what they are doing it’s all trial and error which create longer hours and less of a personal life
