Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Great work location. VERY friendly people! Staff are very willing to help new employees. Rising company with plenty of established, high-profile clients. In-demand industry. Global CDMO leader.

Cons

Heavy workload with challenging timelines. Not enough staff to easily handle the workload. Short onboarding time and need to contribute quickly without long onboarding and training. Location may be distant from some population centers.

Pros

Free seltzers. Low standards which is great if you just want to chill.

Cons

There's no culture of accountability at Lonza Bend. People are promoted despite having no qualifications because they're part of the club. When things go south, it's not the system's fault or the lack of communication - they'll just blame it on someone who doesn't have a chance to fight back. That's why talent keeps leaving. Do not expect an inclusive environment.
