Depressing and Toxic Corporate Culture
Pros
What continues to motivate us is the dedication of our colleagues, the meaningful nature of the work we do, and the positive impact it ultimately has on patients’ lives.
Cons
Over the past year, Lonza’s workplace culture has become increasingly toxic. Hybrid employees were abruptly required to return to the office under a “temporary” policy, yet this significant change came with no adjustment to compensation—despite increased commuting costs, disrupted work-life balance, and added stress. Despite being labeled as a temporary measure, the return-to-office mandate increasingly appears to be a permanent shift as we head into the new year. Company-wide meetings continue to focus on selective corporate wins, such as our site’s projected billion-dollar milestone, while ignoring the very real dissatisfaction and burnout among employees. There is a growing frustration across the workforce due to leadership’s failure to acknowledge or address the impact of these decisions. It’s clear that the company prioritizes optics and financial performance over the well-being and fair treatment of its employees.
