Pros

Fairly good benefits. There are a lot of great co-workers and talented minds. Most everyone is willing to pool ideas and think outside of the box. Opportunity to learn many new processes including automated sample processing in the Bio Tech world.

Cons

Corporate takeover of Ariosa by Roche was an integration nightmare. No support from Roche for over 2 years during the "Integration Process" until suddenly the hammer came down and staff were rushed to sign off on training's that were halfass at best. The previous biotech start up culture was open and productive. When Roche took over that went away and Roche continued to cut costs at the San Jose site because of failures and bad investments at other sites. A lot of talent was lost, employee retention became a major issue. HR culture is a nightmare. They seem to have completely lost sight of what HR is supposed to do and instead run things like they are the Gestapo.

Pros

Good benefits and vacation policy, you can also work from home as long as your manager approves. Patients focus culture.

Cons

Complicated process make it hard to change anything. Value more on how to do thing right than doing the right thing.
