Pros

- company provides great support for learning, development and other benefits - good support during reorganization or you are redundant - great source of information

Cons

- extremely political. - people focuses on networking to survive more than gaining content as this is more important to stay when reorganizing or changes are happening - all ideas and strategies are built by external consulting firms (BCG, Deloitte or Mckinsey) so it's more important to be able to have better comm skill (presentation) than being smart. - quietly hard working people don't get successful at Roche. Go do coffee and attend networking events. that's the way to keep your job at Roche.

Pros

Its employment, thats about it

Cons

Field staff are treated like robots compulsory 50+ hours every week in the field then you have admin on top of that, no extra pay or time off to compensate, high paced high stressed working enviroment, to many different instrument types to look after which means you are not proficient in anything and support is non-existent. Low moral all round the company is a meat grinder

Pros

The pay and benefits are good. There is usually hardly any work to do.

Cons

Working at Ventana in Regulatory Affairs, you will frequently be abused by bosses who are only there because they are married to someone else who is more important. Some will be very good friends with someone who is more important. Managers and senior managers can come on board with no experience. Directors may have 0-3 years of experience. The politics are very thick, and not even close to fair. Being competent in this department is a severe handicap because that makes you a threat. The girlfriend of the married boss may never come to work, and her job may be dumped on your lap at the last minute. Your "superior" coworker may spend all her time working for her contract clients instead of your shared employer, and all her train wrecks may be dumped in your lap. You may be treated as a slave by a boss with dyslexia who searches for typos in your work, can't teach you anything, takes credit for your work, and doesn't know how to lead. None of these people will ever cooperate with you by sharing necessary information or even telling the truth. They actually want you to fail at doing their jobs for them. If you have to take a job in this department, then just keep looking. I do not recommend relocating.
