Cons

lack of strong leadership. one-way communication with upper management. after M&A of Genentech, cut-throat research competition between different sites emerged. a little too much 9/5 mentality. unbalanced allocation of research resources among different sites

Pros

Roche is a great company to work for as they treat their employees like people. They care about their employees and the patients whose lives they impact.

Cons

They're closing the site and made the mistake of giving too much power to Genentech

Pros

Responsiblity give quickly and early. Freedom to manage ones own job. Competent colleaques (mostly) Very good address for your CV (professionally acting company)

Cons

Developement possibilities are poor. Need to find a sponsor to make a career - good luck. No development plans. Attitude is that "everybody wants to work for Roche". Retention is not seen as important. Only few selected individuals will eventually (luck, relationships) make a career.
