      Pros

      Fair pay scale Training budget

      Cons

      Technical teams are under the leadership of non-technical managers. If you possess strong technical skills, you might find frustration in dealing with managers proposing strange and baseless ideas. Despite the company's global presence, the teams remain isolated and resistant to embracing diversity. The majority of projects are outsourced to external firms. Given that it's a pharmaceutical company rather than an IT one, exercise caution before proceeding unless there are no other alternatives.

      Thanks for your feedback and input. Employees receive benefits in line with what they contribute, how they contribute and the influence they have on the company and thus on clients and patients. This is based on a good relationship between employees and leaders with a focus on valuable contributions. For leaders the leadership commitments are an integral part of their contribution. Next to the achievement of their yearly goals, leaders are rated on how they live the Roche values, apply core competencies and fulfill the Leadership Commitments. We find ourselves in a rapidly changing environment and, as such, certain transformations are unavoidable so that we can continue to offer our patients the best and most innovative solutions. We are very sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with this. It is very important to us that employees feel comfortable at Roche and that good cooperation is encouraged. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future.

      Leadership Culture in Decline

      Pros

      Employees are quality from across the board in every department Compensation is above average Healthcare mission is genuine

      Cons

      Over the past 5 years, leadership has created a culture that rewards political maneuvering over production and achievement. The cultural value of speaking up is no longer safe to engage in. If you are not sharing positive news, you are not rewarded for making data driven analysis of the current situation.

      Great salary and culture, but ruined by consultants

      Pros

      Salary, Bonus, Benefits, Flexibility, Quality Equipment

      Cons

      Roche uses Accenture as a consulting company, and Accenture consultants are generally clueless individuals who use big words to sound fancy and spark political wars at work. Roche itself has very strict hiring guidelines, but it seems Accenture will hire anyone with a degree which really lowers Roche’s quality. Roche employees are hand picked individuals with certain personality aspects and work ethics, but because of Accenture employees being all over the place, Roche employees aren’t able to focus on what truly matters. Customer satisfaction would truly be higher without Accenture having so much of a say in how customers are handled.
