Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging projects Very competent and diverse work force Very good overall compensation Company is well positioned in the current global environment International opportunities exist for those who are interested

Cons

Roche is a very conservative organization that is heavily regulated in the US and the rest of the world. This limits product development cycles and overall project timelines and budgets. Career growth can be limited and there does exist the possibility to be "pigeon-holed" into assignments for long periods of time.
