Pros

When science and quality are not impeded by business processes, the daily work environment is challenging and exciting. Operations in the US are transparent, not so in Basel.

Cons

C-level executives unable to focus on long term scientific commitments; continuous, ever increasing profit is more important. Headquarters (Basel) will sell you out to achieve profit goal.

Pros

Good Benefits, Salary was somewhat above average for industry. A once proud and prosperous brand has been decimated by incompetent leadership

Cons

Diabetes care management, from director and above do not have a clue about how to succeed in the industry. Completely incompetent! Run very much like a high school campus, if your are not one of the "cool kids" you are of no value to leadership. Culturally ... they talk, but do not walk the talk. The division is dead and most everyone of value has been severanced or left the organization. MG was either not made aware of what he inherited, or is complacent and expected to oversee the demise of DC.

Pros

The Diabetes Care Division takes very seriously their product pipeline, production practices, and responsibility for producing quality goods. Employees are well trained, actively promoted when possible, and generally treated with considerable respect even during times of company downsizing and redirection.

Cons

Very few cons specific to Roche Diabetes Care other than the entire industry is trying to redefine itself in light of increased overseas competition for dwindling healthcare dollars and reductions in reimbursement for prescription blood glucose meter test strips.
