Roche reviews

Culture is not nice Not much events or very cheap ones Payment is very low Benefits are not that great People working in RSS are treated way different compared to other places

- The company mandates 2 days on average in the office. Effectively a burden for anyone who does not live in the Hertfordshire area or Northwest London. - The company uses badge swipe data to measure how often a person has been in the office. If this is below average, then disciplinary action may follow. This feels outdated and creates a culture lacking trust, and an uninclusive environment. - There's zero allowance to work from abroad. This is unfortunate if you are not from the UK and have family and relatives abroad. - Permanent work from home is not an option unless in extreme circumstances. - The overall 25 days of annual leave is a statutory minimum and other companies I have been working for had usually higher amounts. This is especially low considering how inflexible is the remote working policy. - The HR or People and Culture are nonexistent on the site and barely visible. They do not gather employee feedback and do not work efficiently to update policies in time. - The upper management and head of the site are detached from the real work the employees are doing and do not trust that they can perform effectively even outside the office. - The company and head of site rely on blanket policies (e.g. 2-day mandate, etc.) instead of trusting line managers to find effective solutions with employees that fit the business needs and align with company values. - The career progression seems slower than in other industries and somewhat difficult to predict.
