Pros

Many growth opportunities due to constantly evolving management system. Lonza is in a unique position in biotech with lots of contract opportunities, so job security is high.

Cons

Company is becoming very top heavy. Very cold and mechanical toward the lower ranks (manufacturing). High amount of focus on lean manufacturing with little consideration for realistic scheduling requirements.
