Vantaggi

Excellent insurance, if you have money left over to see your physician. It's also a great place to lay low, and collect a paycheck. If your into that sort of thing.

Svantaggi

If you work at the bench, the pay is 33% below the average for the area(March 2013 Bureau of Labor Statistics news release) . In fact, every person I work along side at the Alpharetta facility has a gripe about their wage. Rightfully so. The average salary for the company is in excess of $80k (2012 annual report), but no one who isn't an engineer, or a PhD makes more than the low $40's. Getting a raise is very difficult. You have to threaten to leave. Even then they promise an increase, give you half up-front, then miss the deadline for the rest of the increase. You'll get a vapid response like: the budget is really tight right now, so.... Meanwhile, they've spent your due on travel to and from Switzerland.

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
