Lonza reviews

Boys Club & Women's Club comprised of far too many years of service. Dysfunctional, judgmental and cliquish environment specifically within Portsmouth NH. The business market of Biotech is so small between NH and Cambridge that often the same cliques move between biotech companies which makes for a stale, predictable and uninteresting group of people and statement of work.

Passive/defensive culture versus aggressive, industry-leading orientation. Contract company cost-cutting/savings orientation with matching cost-conscious contract company pay. High personnel turn-over due to temp workers finding jobs elsewhere, permanent employees findings opportunities with other departments, or permanent employees finding higher paying jobs outside of the company is a problem. Stressed managers/supervisors who are pulled in multiple directions. Very lean organization, perhaps a little too lean. There a strong reliance on using temp/contract workers to cut costs which leads to loss of valuable experienced personnel when said workers find permanent positions elsewhere. Training can be a "catch-as-you-can" situation, which is a problem in a GMP environment.
