Pros

The workplace environment is one that benefits the employees. Every now and then, fun activites are planned to promote the employees well-being, such as fundraisers, pitch-ins and more. Overall, it is a great place to work.

Cons

The health benefits (for Adecco) are not what they could be, which had I known it before, I probably would have looked someplace else. The pay is reasonable, but healthcare benefits are lacking.

Pros

Roche is a very Successful company, compared to all the other pharma corporations out there in the world. the drug pipeline looks promising, espceially with all the Genentech stuff.

Cons

Roche is very bureaucratic and slow moving company. The Swiss culture certainly is visible and most decsions are taken centrally after months of discussions. While top management is OK, the next level of management in the headquarter is of mixed competence. The recent Genentaech announcement is a downer.

Pros

Multiple avenues for upward mobility. Large organization that covers multiple areas of the bio technology industry. Job shadowing is highly recommended for members looking to move to other areas of the business.

Cons

Large organization that has too strong of focus on personal perception: rather than professional accomplishment. Working through Adecco, their temporary staffing organization, is almost a requirement for any new member. Adecco's benefits are worse than what an inmate receives in prison.
