Pros

Benefits. Good place if you want to stay at the same job for 20+ years and you have no aspirations for promotions.

Cons

Other companies also have good benefits. No upward mobility for age 40+. Being outcompeted for package on pay and benefits. No leadership mobility for those who are not Swiss or married to Swiss. The company idea of diversity and inclusion, which is part of their company Video training on D&I, is a room of white men from different countries. Latest reorganization is unfavorable to Americans but favorable to Swiss citizens, even though American economy is contributing over half to Roche revenue. Claims to be agile, but it is just a word for the company.
