Pros
- The Portsmouth area is great. Good place to live. - Benefits. Health and dental insurance are good, but beware. Used to be much better, so no guarantee that they'll remain good. - Overall, pretty good people. Middle management generally seems to have their hearts in the right place.
Cons
- Chaotic work environment exasperated by one paradigm shift after another. - Upper management is out of touch. Corporate doesn't seem or care to understand how CMO should operate. They generally ignore reality and jump from one management fad to the next. - There is some truth to the boys club rumors, although I don't think they are as bad as some others have said. - Lack of a work life balance. At the very least, people should be rewarded for the sacrifice. Instead they usually get more work piled on them. And when they inevitably make a mistake, Lonza managers are quick to play the blame game. - Lean is good in moderation. Lonza has taken it way too far.
