Lonza reviews

Heavy work load, due to being under-resourced, people tend to work plenty of overtime to get the job done. Many people have to work at a level above their pay grade. Timelines are usually very tight, many people are overwhelmed and stressed. Salary and benefits are poor and promotions are rare and overdue for a lot of people - the Lonza rewards points scheme is a poor substitution. There continues to be a blame culture. Professional / career development tends to be ignored by management. Morale is pretty low for said reasons though departmental management seems to be totally oblivious to this. There is massive potential for regrettable turnover and it is already started to happen.

Lonza values Operational Excellence and Lean operations. However, many groups feel that things are now too lean for the current workload. Lonza seems to be tiptoeing on a razor's edge, and I can't help but feel like they will see some regrettable turnover from overworking people once the economy loosens up.
