great benefits. flexible hours and good work/life balance. friendly colleagues within the same site

Cons

lack of strong leadership. one-way communication with upper management. after M&A of Genentech, cut-throat research competition between different sites emerged. a little too much 9/5 mentality. unbalanced allocation of research resources among different sites

Pros

Roche is a great company to work for as they treat their employees like people. They care about their employees and the patients whose lives they impact.

Cons

They're closing the site and made the mistake of giving too much power to Genentech

Pros

Great healthcare benefits, friendly work environment, heavily focused on cultural beliefs such as speaking up and keeping the customer in mind.

Cons

Very roundabout processes, not very quick to advance careers, engineering salaries will not compete with companies such as Raytheon, no bonuses for anyone below manager level.
