Roche is its own worst enemy

Pros

Great people, great benefits, good culture, excellent opportunities if you are in the right place at the right time and have forged alliances with Senior Leadership

Cons

Constant reorganization, huge layoffs that have undermined our knowledge base, critical people let go while others that are less impactful remain due to not having any strategy with layoffs and people retention. A void has been left in Pleasanton.

Thank you for your feedback! We recognize that being a large and complex company sometimes results in lengthier processes. And, our market is highly regulated, with a myriad of considerations that often impact timelines. With this in mind, we continue to work on streamlining our processes, incorporating more agility into the way we work whenever possible. We also encourage you to consider further engaging your manager in an open & honest dialogue to see if there might be opportunities to address your concerns or identify possible opportunities to improve upon your department processes. Our culture is an essential element for our organization and we’re constantly evolving to provide a place where everyone feels valued and inspired to grow to their best potential.

Pros

Campus infrastructure and canteens are great. Basic Benefits (saleries, bonus etc.) are decent

Cons

Roche has been a very successful company for many years, reaping the benefits of a strong Swiss work ethic. However, this constant success has led to a low sense of business acumen throughout the organization and a very powerful HR (P&C) department. Combined with a desire to follow every new trend from San Francisco and chase high ESG ratings, this has unfortunately led to an environment that is heavily influenced by woke and gender ideology. Performance, impact, and accountability are no longer values that are being recognized.

Pros

Flexible working with home office. Parking is available for employees. Good location in Budapest. Modern office environment. Nice loyalty benefits.

Cons

One of the IT areas have continuous re-organizations since years. I like the company, but they do not give us a rest just to peacefully could focus on our work and our work/life balance. The management with these changes - reducing headcount and costs - giving us the stress factor. And we also can not travel anymore freely on business/workshops to meet our Colleagues face to face. Earlier there were more career opportunities, I also do not see such strategical or motivating positions anymore. They keep the salaries on much lower market level than few years ago.
