Pros

At time of employment Lonza's bonus structure was quiet generous however that is a thing of the past.

Cons

Boys Club & Women's Club comprised of far too many years of service. Dysfunctional, judgmental and cliquish environment specifically within Portsmouth NH. The business market of Biotech is so small between NH and Cambridge that often the same cliques move between biotech companies which makes for a stale, predictable and uninteresting group of people and statement of work.

Pros

6+ hours of break on 12 hour shifts. minimal supervision from leadership. If you have good coworkers, it can be fun.

Cons

Extremely political i.e. if your supervisor doesn't like you for any reason you won't see any kind of progression and it works the opposite way. Communication can be very poor. The kind of leadership you get can vary immensely due to standards not being present nor leaders such as supervisors not being held accountable. As a contractor, pay is pretty low compared to the industry standard.
