Roche reviews

Leadership is just about trading offices / positions once a year. Very cliquish … if you are not part of the core group, opportunities for promotion are limited. People with 0 or extremely limited background or experience in an area are promoted to director level positions based on social interaction; particularly in DC unit. DC directors and above are clueless or stale, and they are trickling their incompetence down to field management and sales staff. Products are 2 to 3 years behind the industry with little prospect of catching up. Cultural values are frequently spoken and seldom lived.

Can sometimes feel too buttoned down and old fashioned - this is a Swiss company after all. It could stand to integrate some of Genentech's original hipness.
