Pros

Great salaries, benefits, huge company so lots of opportunity. Can have a long term career

Cons

Culture is different within each business unit. Promotions are made based on relationships not merit. Group managers are the watchdogs for the directors and don't know the business. Managers are the work dogs and know the business but get no credit. HR is only in place to make the company look good and keep the leaders, directors out of jail....useless for employees.

Pros

Once you're in, there's a ton of areas to advance. Pay is very good, benefits are excellent. This is a solid company and the experience you gain speaks for itself when you decide or have to take work someplace else.

Cons

The Swiss like their money; you are only a number and when the bottom line numbers are not met, then you realize how "valuable" you are as an employee. Hit and miss top level management. The good realized that it was time to leave several years ago. The bad found a way to stay.

Pros

Roche has been a very family-friendly place to work. The Nutley campus has changed in character, but has always been very goal-oriented.

Cons

This is a global company with a global matrix. That means that decision-making can seem a bit "foreign" in some cases.
