      Great professional growth opportunity but business success stifled by internal politics and fractured vision.

      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to work with international colleagues and movement from one division to another possible. Great leadership development program. Friendly and open atmosphere, especially in Walkersville.

      Cons

      Lack of leadership of the LBS division lead to stumbling, poor focus, and lack of business results. Very weak investment and leadership in R&D and product innovation process is not market or customer focused. Too many shufflings of the organizational deck, making it difficult to make progress.

      My Experience with Lonza has been a love/hate relationship.

      Pros

      Lonza is full of friendly people that are make the work place environment very inviting and enjoyable. The benefits package is one I would rate extremely high.

      Cons

      The management at Lonza is extremely pushy and deadline oriented. They have little understanding of the site and talk a big talk without walking the walk. Lonza does not support advancement in careers unless you are one of the "chosen". By that I mean the process of choosing those that will and will not succeed is extremely political and based on opinions of upper management only. I would not recommend Lonza to anyone that is looking to further their career within the Biotechnology industry.
