Roche reviews

Pay raises below standard, with inflation this year and record profits Roche made, raises across nation are very low and was really discouraging to field workers who have been holding this company up while most haven't left their house in two years. Field workers have had to work insane hours and install a ton of instruments so the pay raises to appreciate this would have been nice, given the billions made. We are short staffed greatly already so worried this is going to cause even more Field Engineers to leave now.

The recent transformation has brought a lot of hot air - big words, like agility, you make the difference, empowerment, etc are used completely out of balance. This is the biggest shame - now I see top paid leaders on stage that dont share any vision but mention that teams need to come up with vision and strategy etc .... so, why do we need them ? exactly, to produce a lot of smoke and big words....honestly, I dont know which box I ticked wrong in the yearly engagement survey (GEOS) that has made this rapid turn around. Yes, Roche used to have many processes, it was burocratic, etc but now I find it even worse. In terms of career - if you dont come from US / genentech, hardly any chance to grasp a senior role in GPS in the future - there is a strong network that is fostered!
