Pros

Benefits, some work life flexibility, nice buildings

Cons

When leadership is good, it is good. When it isn't good, it sucks. Unfortunately, when good leaders are put in roles they are moved around quickly. Advancement is nil unless you are in the boys club. Even the few women who get promoted are promoted as pawns for the men. Politics are horrible and collaboration between teams is hard. We are all supposed to be on the same side but leadership and people who are allowed to be idiots ("oh it is just so and so's way....") make work harder. And if you are very good at your job as a worker bee, it is highly unlikely you are going to be promoted. They want you to continue in that capacity. They under use talent.

Pros

Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

Cons

As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
