      Pros

      Good pay, travel and events

      Cons

      Management are horrible and not very supportive. Most have been there too long, haven't worked anywhere else and have way too much free time to play political games and gossip and direct reports.

      Great Family Culture: Poor Treatment of Temporary/Contract Workers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working at Roche is like being part of a family. People look out for each other and act in a manner that is friendly and professional. This company is great to start out with, has amazing opportunities for those who are willing to diversify their skill set, and is an overall joy to work for. Management works with their employees and aims to take care of their own.

      Cons

      Compensation has been declining over the years. Benefits are good, but salaries are low and upper management seems reluctant to keep their pay rates competitive with anything but the lowest of industry estimates. Vertical movement is difficult to achieve. Contract/temp workers are not paid competitively and are 'forced' into cut-rate benefits policies from Roche's choice of staffing firms. Management ignores the contract workers and seems hesitant to provide any kind of advancement opportunities. Some temps have been here 8 YEARS doing consistently great work but are overlooked for permanent positions.

      Pros

      Nice building, nice company car, reasonnable salary, good benefits. Nothing else.

      Cons

      The worse management ever. Low moral. No consideration for people. Many people left on sick leave or resigned while I was there. This was considered by management as "normal" turn over, therefore no improvements were to be made...
