      Not optimistic about the company's future in Tucson

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great campus - Perks such as having a cafe and nurse on site - Health benefits are some of the best I have seen

      Cons

      - No room for advancement - Company is moving many jobs to its headquarters across the company - Many people in positions they are not qualified for; got in before Roche took over and there were no degree requirement. This hinders people trying to advance their careers. - Most of the time there is already someone they have in mind before a job is posted - Upper Management is not transparent at all, can not believe what you are told most of the time.

      Pros

      Good people, interesting work while it lasted.

      Cons

      Company/division not doing well, so its owners (Roche) may be shutting it down, unless they find some new technology to inject. Several rounds of layoffs, and perhaps not over yet. New product development was abandoned, perhaps understandably, things weren't working well.

      Tipping point from start-up to global conglomerate passed...but still a great place!

      Pros

      The culture can't be beat- it's embraced by nearly every employee. The products are best-in-market and getting better. Top-notch science and experience- such that even Roche's pharma competitors are in long lines to sign contracts with Ventana for companion diagnostic work.

      Cons

      The Roche acquisition changed the color of things at Ventana; we're not a scrappy start-up anymore. We went from biggest fish in a small pond (something to hang your hat on) to tiny fish in a big ocean ($500m revenue is a drop in the bucket to Roche Dia's billions). Still vital, and absolutely crucial to Roche's diagnostics portfolio, however. Many people are seeing the recent consolidation of commercial operations to Indianapolis as a death knell; those people don't realize that Ventana is more than US commercial operations. Sorry to see friends go, but it's optimizing operations and freeing up space for Development, Manufacturing, Marketing and other global organizations to grow. Many of those leaving already have jobs in Indy, so net job loss is minimal.
