Pros

Had some really good managers overall. I really like the people in my department at the time. They offered a comprehensive health care plan including psych.

Cons

Came in from the high tech industry as an engineer. Salary is not commiserate to high tech. But, from what I understood from other co-workers, the biotech industry in general does not pay as well. Came out disillusioned about the healthcare industry. I left high tech to help make the world a better place. It is not always about the end patient, but really sometimes about profit.

Hit or miss managers

Pros

Large employee network and great female leaders.

Cons

A lot of disorganization and poor communication with no real motivation to change. Some managers are great - others are terrible, and there doesn’t seem to be any desire for further management training to ensure that this is less hit or miss.

Pros

Pay, benefits, some people really looking to do good- they generally leave

Cons

Leadership is not accountable for demonstrating 'Roche values', and is incredibly 'top-down'. Employees are not empowered to make decisions. A lot of back-stabbing, competitiveness, lack of collaborative attitude. Higher leadership choses to be completely blind to these issues. No real commitment to diversity and inclusion- all talk no action.
