Pros

Great company doing great things.

Cons

Lack of vision in shaking the world for patients, despite all the PR. Reality of career development is completely different from HR policies and brochures. Constant stream of redundancies implemented quietly - away from media and rest of employees. Individuals treated like numbers, which is sad as this is symptomatic of the culture change started 5 years ago.

Pros

Roche has historically been a great company. It has gone above and beyond guaranteeing the best benefits for its people and focusing on its culture.

Cons

After the recent "integration" the up to 70% of the management is from Genentech. While I can appreciate the innovation this company has brought in, the management style of some legacy managers coming into new roles at Roche is absolutely inacceptable. There is absolutely no focus on development and support and people are used and then replaced with "new folks" from the United States.
