Roche reviews

Sant Cugat Digital Hub (just talking about my experience there) : This site does not take care of employees. It is not the mission of the Site to keep people / Talent. That explains the high grade of people rotation. Every month people are leaving and new ones are coming. There is a big lack of structure, this makes difficult to work for the department and to understand what they expect from you. Flexibility concept of this site have a total different meaning here many times. It means that you need to be flexible for working at 18.00, 19.00, 20.00, 22.00, etc. They sell it as something good but it is not the case because of that reason. Even though they say the opposite and they really believe it, there is still the culture of, if your boss is in the office you must stay in the office till he leaves. The Digital Hub and Diabetes in general works like a big Silo. This means that if you are expecting to be able to make a career from here forget about it. Maybe Roche Diagnostics (in San Cugat as well) it is different and it is worth to try. If you want to live in Barcelona, then it will take at least 1hour by public transport to reach the site. It does not matter where you live in the city. At the end of the day it always take 1 hour (forget about the car because of traffic jams). Instability due to lays off planned in US and Germany (Roche Diabetes)

Very old style management with lack of trust. You will have to convince your boss for every initiative you want to take. The worst working environment I have ever seen: back stabbing among team colleagues, lack of help for newcomers, lack of motivation, no companionship. They will appreciate you staying until late. This review is only for Procurement dep. There are lots of other departments that are quite OK.
