Pros

The location is in a less congested part of north Atlanta. Business complex where the campus resides is nice and safe, with sidewalks, ponds, good access to the Forsyth Greenway.

Cons

Middle management is desensitized and lack innovation, and leadership team shares an ostrich mentality and deny the unproductive and disorganized processes in Their organization. Many employees from various acquired companies still holding on to how they did things back in the day. No integration into a united company.

Pros

Compensation (for higher level associates/senior management positions)

Cons

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
