You have to manage everything yourself, always be opened and ask out. there are a lot of opportunities in the company, you need to find out yourself.

Pros

This is specific to RMS - the Roche Pleasanton location. None

Cons

Sr. Management is very sleazy and nonstop pathological lying is the culture. They will push subpar/incomplete products out the door only to collect bonus $$ - then spend $$ millions having to redo or correct critical design errors ultimately taking years to correct. Work/Life balance is nonexistent and travel requirements are significantly higher than competitive /peer companies. Leadership style is "fear" based -- "Lie to customers or be fired" is the SOP RMD should be considered an embarrassment to Roche Holdings in terms of integrity.

Not very good place for work

Pros

Good location, nice office. The company often employs fresh-graduates, so it can be your first multinational experience.

Cons

Salary is lower than average on labor market. The yearly bonus depends of your relationships with managers. No career opportunities. The job is monotone and boring. Meetings and trainings are often only in Hungarian, even if there are foreigners who doesn't speak Hungarian very well.
