Pros

Benefits are excellent, plenty of flexibility in the work schedule and fosters a team environment. Pay is ok, average. Very good fit with colleagues, more than adequate management communication globally and locally. Global initiatives are met with positive responses from all employees.

Cons

Very odd performance review system and, in my experience, inconsistent. Performance is rated on a curve, with an expected number to fall below "meets expectations". Management follows that curve so that a small handful of employees who may have met every expectation throughout the year were assigned below average rating to meet the Roche standard. Also, I have seen a "partially meets expectations" on the compensation review, yet no rating at all entered into the internal HR Portal. Unclear career path for many non-exempt positions

Pros

It's a good company, with peaceful and stable. The regime of company is getting better now. Porfolio of products are good so the company is developing. The increase of salary and bonus are good but still at the average level.

Cons

Usually change in technical and sourcing.

Pros

Great people, usually a positive environment - good support and a great team, encouraging participation and giving autonomy and responsibility: I felt I made contributions which were worthwhile and useful & this was appreciated

Cons

Awkward integration with genentech, adding to already bureaucratic structure & way of working - this makes a short 6 month internship difficult and visibility of a more strategic goal is confusing, many mixed messaged come through and this poses a challenge for realising results.
