Pros

Great benefits, fitness center, flexibility in job execution, great to work for a company that makes products that help people, very generous to charities, lots of opportunities to network and volunteer

Cons

Employment instability, out-dated technologies (intranet, employee portal, training portal), senior management makes odd decisions, product direction is confusion, lack of innovative products, tell you to innovate but innovative decisions are made by a small group of pals, stale culture, lack of decision making causes extra work and stagnates the development process, managers seem to be more focused on meeting their bonuses than the actual product that the customer receives

Pros

Great science and vision. Great balance of new talent and legacy folks. You could learn as much as you wanted. Benefits are top. Compensation great. Worked with some great talent. Some of the management was ok. The true workers great people.

Cons

PhDs don't make always the best mangers. Some Labs needed renovations. Silo departments. From one department to another you are managed differently. Taking over Genentech messed up a great legacy. Worst was the big lie of making nutely a research center and then closing the site. Roche as a company lost a lot of my respect.
