Great people and strong values make Roche a great company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people, high level of integrity and a strong pipeline. People who come to Roche usually don't leave for other companies.

Cons

Can sometimes feel too buttoned down and old fashioned - this is a Swiss company after all. It could stand to integrate some of Genentech's original hipness.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, lots of paid training, profit sharing, pension, matching 401(k), Great bosses, great coworkers. Gained valuable experience in a global environment while there.

Cons

Extravagant spending and then have to take cost cutting measures. Instead of curbing spending they fire people. It's easier to rubber stamp fire a bunch of people instead of looking for cost cutting measures.
