Vantaggi

Many intelligent people work at the Lonza Houston site and they truly care about creating life-saving drugs. The cell and gene therapy space is very exciting and you have the opportunity to work some of the most cutting-edge pharmaceutical drugs. Presumably, the rapid growth will provide opportunity to grow within the company.

Svantaggi

The Houston site is rapidly growing and the teams are in constant fire-fighting mode. There is very little effort or time to develop the employees that have enabled the rapid growth at the site. This is then used as an excuse to not promote internally. Very few people receive promotions in less than two years unless you threaten to leave the site for a competitor.

Vantaggi

Compensation (for higher level associates/senior management positions)

Svantaggi

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
