Pros

- Great office facilities, free breakfast. - Talented and experienced coworkers. - Challenging projects, great learning opportunities. - Get to learn and observe the art of how the local managements push away responsibilities and still telling everyone they did a great job.

Cons

- Bureaucracy, has a lot of unnecessary procedures and red tapes. - Inexperienced local senior management in handling IT projects(commit on projects with unreasonable timeline, ridiculosly low budget, and expect to build castle in the air). - Talented peoples are leaving really fast. - Local senior management has no respect for lower ranked staffs and contractors. - Dictatorship style by local senior management. Staffs that challenge their decision were told to leave. - Blames are pushed from everwhere and nothing gets solved. In the end all goes to lower ranked internal staffs and contractors.

Great Benefits, Toxic Culture

Pros

Roche is a great company with awesome benefits. They have terrific healthcare, great dental and eye care plus they really are setup well to take care of people.

Cons

I found the culture here to be the most toxic of all companies in my career. This organization is very political and clicky. During my time here I have started to take anxiety and blood pressure medicine because of the continued pressure to perform along with constant criticism. I would not recommend working at Roche to my worst enemy.

Pros

good benefit. Working for a good cause. Roche has some outstanding (old) products.

Cons

Mafia-styled management culture. Even you do not know anything, as long as you board-lined belong to the gang, you are better off. Too many "professional" managers, not hands-on, do not know much about sequencing technology. All they do is to fight turf all day long. Age, gender discrimination are wide-spread, and encouraged.
