      Pros

      I came to Roche shortly after graduating from college and I am very happy with my experience here. I have learned a great deal from my colleagues and have been fortunate to have a great manager and group. Our site is shutting down at the end if the summer so I will be looking for opportunities elsewhere but I would gladly work for Roche again.

      Cons

      Although they claim to have calibration meetings during performance reviews to ensure everyone is treated equally when it comes to reviews and promotions the truth is that everyone is not always held to the same standards. At times, people could be getting promotions doing the bare minimum in some groups while others work hard only to be denied a promotion.

      Great place to work - too bad it is closing down the site.

      Pros

      Roche Palo Alto had such a beautiful campus. Most importantly, the company had intelligent, hard working, and pleasant employees which made it so easy to come to work everyday.

      Cons

      Management needed to communicate more efficiently and it was very unfortunate that with the site closure, a lot of employees were dissatisfied with the communications regarding the events leading up to the closure.

      Pros

      Good benefits Indy is a good place with lots to do and affordable cost of living No patent expirations that lead to significant revenue loss (unlike pharma companies) Friendly people

      Cons

      Mediocrity accepted Focus on just trying hard as opposed to delivering results Conservative values Lack of courage and creativity. Market follower, not leaders Good ole boy network (white males) rules Poor career management support and succession management, even for those considered "high potential" Americans are not given career opportunities. Must be from Germany or Germanic country (Switzerland, Austria, etc.)
