Lonza reviews

Management. Management. Management. Its a sweat shop.

High employee turnover due to stressful workload for each person to do on daily basis in addition to using multiple softwares for data entry that takes half of your day putting numerical values in each software. This is one of the main reasons why everyone is behind their scheduled tasks while other companies have one software that makes it easier for their employees to finish their work in timely manner. Hence many stay only for 9 months to one year at Lonza, and then quickly move to another company. When I got hired, there were only 5 people from 32+ Individuals that have been working at lonza for 4 years or more. Due to being understaffed, Lonza gets desperate to hire anybody regardless of their work history and this is where you get to work with crazy and lunatic people in the upper management. In addition, there are lots of gossip and hurtful comments at entry-level people when they make certain mistakes which is absolutely unnecessary and simply toxic. You will also find some people are burned out and don’t want to work. However, because they tend to have a close and friendly relationship with upper management inner circle, they won’t be fired and likely pass the work to you. The Main takeaway is this job may not be for anyone. The lesson that I’ve learned from this experience is when I see people quitting fast within year or less, you’ll like to follow the same path unless you miraculously like a very stressful environment.
