      Disorganized Management

      Diagnostic technician specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Benefits are well-rounded, although have been slightly worse recently -90 minutes of breaks, 1-hr paid -Most people have a degree of integrity and respect towards one another

      Cons

      -Arrogant and frankly unqualified management; highly questionable work ethics and non-existent communication between shifts or between managers and employees -Layoff hundreds of employees, only to use employees left from other departments to fill in the gap, displaying lack of foresight -Constant pressure to do more with little-to-no reward -Gradual decline in the perks of the job in spite of personal performance

      Terrible Recruiting Experience

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing, unmatched

      Cons

      Unless you are management and above, you are treated like a doormat, rarely recognized or rewarded for your work, and way underpaid compared to other companies. Also, if you plan to apply for a job at Roche, be prepared for the recruiting/interview process to drag out 2+ months and have to reach out to the recruiter on a weekly basis to get a status update. Absolutely ridiculous for it to take that long.

      BOOOOOOO!!!! Avoid!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's not the worst out there, work life balance is treated well.

      Cons

      It is FAR from the high tech company they advertise to be. Wiped out benefits during covid, managers are trash and on yearly employee audits managers get horrible reviews but nothing changes, a revolving door of VIPs take all the funding while they blame the labs working on skeleton crews. VIP's directly tell you it's not about helping people, its about getting them a new yacht (no joke). Tons of office politics, and I've seen some disturbing anti-lgbt actions. Tons of company cover-ups whenever they do any wrongdoing. Not as bad as Thermo, but they will totally screw you over on pay and FTE conversion.
