A cut throat political organization, with head bobbing American leaders that are puppets of the Swiss & Germans
Pros
There are good training programs and good benefits. There are very nice people in Indianapolis.
Cons
The highest level of the organization can not be trusted. Reorganizations are endless and have been occuring for several years. Hundreds of people have lost their jobs without ever knowing the real reasons why. Many people throughout the Roche Divisions live in constant fear of losing their jobs. When an individual is "re-orged" out, HR will put notes in the employee file such as "not eligible for rehire" - even if the employee was in good standing at the time of the "re-org". In some cases, particularly brutal managers will destroy a person mentally first in hopes that they will quit first - especially if the individual might be up for a severance package if they were to stay and get "re-orged" out instead. Individuals in the sales organization have it the toughest. They are the scapegoats for all the Company's woes. A root cause of the ruthlessness is the declining business in several of the Divisions and overall inability of the organization to meet profit margins year after year.
