Leadership is behind the times.

Operations

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work remotely. Lots of focus on culture.

Cons

No strategy to the changes they are suggesting. Chaos everywhere. New restructures all over. Leadership seems to be shooting from the hip and trying to catch up but certainly not leading.

Good, but...

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly fun work atmosphere. If you're female or a minority, you're golden. If you're an older white male, not so much.

Cons

I've worked at lots of companies and never seen one that has as many reorganizations. These reorgs seem mostly aimless, though Sr Mgt justifies them as adapting. Mostly Sr Mgt reorgs to justify their own position and embellish their own fiefdoms. There's always employee casualties as there's little effort paid to finding other spots within the company.

Roche is a good company but in PH affiliate there’s a lot of politics

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company in general (values, mission, vision), good benefits, free lunch, try to promote work-life balance (all depends on the boss)

Cons

POLITICS! Leaders feel so entitled! They abuse their power and authority. If they dont like you even if you are a perfomer, they will replace you. They will hire employees they know from their previous companies or from their organizations. The HR & management tolerate such. You cant even feel the presence of HR in the organization! No genuine concern to employees. They dont really care. Leaders (dia) do not really walk the talk. They often violate policies and guidelines.
