Pros

The chance to work with very talented engineers and scientists in a variety of fields.

Cons

Due to a series of setbacks and strategic misteps, Roche has recently terminated internal development of all next generation sequencing, and laid off 2/3 of R&D. Morale is very low. No compelling new direction has been presented to the people who remain in R&D.

Pros

- Good compensation in general - Generally friendly work environment. - Majority leadership is genuine and means to do well. Just don't always know how... - Multinaltional, international company with great career prospects - Majority of people I work with are great.

Cons

- Highly hierarchical and bureaucratic at times - which creates a very political environment. - No work-life balance. Leaders do not care enough about employee well--being. - Leaders don't always walk the talk - i think mainly because they don't know how as opposed to being hypocritical - Bonus system could be better. Performance Management & Compensation system not conducive to innovation or getting the best out of employees - Too short term driven and individual vs. team driven.
