      Pros

      The company highly values and invests in Research and Development. Being the market leader in Tissue Diagnostics, this company can dictate the technology and new product pipeline in the industry. The salary is fair and Tucson is one of the best places to live in the country weather wise. The company has flourished under the Roche umbrella while keeping its own identity and that is what makes this company a great employer for anyone interested in Cancer Biology, Biochemistry and Biomedical Devices!

      Cons

      There are no major downsides, the biggest one being you need to be placed high enough in the hierarchy to receive bonus and stock options.

      Over worked and over managed

      Pros

      Products provide superior staining, making for fast and reliable patient diagnosis. Produts are considered "top of the line". Impressive technical apptitude from the support staff.

      Cons

      Poor managment. Technicians are are given all the responsibilities with none of the authority for most situations. Expected to put company before family. Employees are asked to provide ways to improve operations, but when they do, thery are chastised and reprimanded for not being a "team player". In short, the company structure is a "Comedy of Contradictions".

      Not a Science-based company

      Pros

      HLR has the infra-structure to do good research and innovating product development. There is resources available to do good science. There is access to advanced scientific knowledge to do good basic and applied research.

      Cons

      Croniism: employees either do what they're told or lose their jobs if they're ever considered "challenging" management competency/decision making. There is systematic witholding critical information for scientist to do research (insecurity from the top down). There is systematic covering up of mistakes from the bottom up, especially lower lever managements (dishonesty). There is absolutely no respect and no support for the foot soldier employees, thus talents are wasted. Meanwhile there are so many lazy employees taking advantage of the cronies in the incompetence management and just benefit in the "Roche welfare" system (one director to another: you hire my wife, I hire your wife).
