A tale of missed opportunities

Pros

Still a lot of open, interesting scientific problems to tackle.

Cons

- A restricted group of managers originally hired by Genia's founders is still in charge of making all the important decisions. - Those same managers do not fully understand the fundamental scientific problems that need to be solved in order to deliver a product (DNA sequencing device) - People at the Roche HQ up in Pleasanton seem to be ok with it.

Some groups are really great, fun, co-operative, and provide excellent opportunities to learn and develop new skills. Great funding, nice lab spaces, good benefits.

Cons

Lack of co-operation between groups, very noticeable politics, micromanaging from senior level management, little to no promotions, poor leadership, toxic competition between teams,

Pros

Benefits are ok, you can select your own package.

Cons

Some team leaders are very unprofessional, not fit for this job! The company is not fair with the employees, they treat them as objects, not as people.
