Roche FAQ

Good pay (one of the highest you can find), awesome benefits (one of the best and the most comprehensive you can find), good work life balance (not the best because working from home is not allowed often). Tuition reimbursement 100% (limited to the number of classes you take per year).

The same job forever. Very difficult to move because no preference is given to the internal candidates. Promotions are only in R&D, the rest of organization does not see any. Each time they post position - they bring a pool of external candidates. Managers do not promote their employees unless you are in R&D. I have seen people stuck for 10 years not being able to move even though the company is huge.

The employee turnover is still high. It does not help with product quality issues, morale, and employee motivation. What are you doing to retain, motivate, and keep your existing employees? Before bringing new ones, take good care of what you have if you want to make quality products and ultimately compete with other biotech companies.

I am so happy to be a part of this great team. I am a newer employee and I have found that my Manager and colleagues are so supportive and helpful to my growth in this role. Management is open and transparent with goals/objectives and really supportive of One Roche. Great benefits, compensation and adaptive work environment. I love working at my dream job!

There are no cons to working here!

Keep up the great work.

you could work remotely ( once or two times a week), and you could have a balance between life and work.

The managing style is highly hierarchical. The manager not necessary are very aware of the state of the art techniques ( even not familiar with the field), yet they would micro-manage every step of you. Lack of knowledge even on very basic practices in domains such as computer science, machine learning, or data science. Minor: There is a mismatch between what is advertised on their web page, and what they would offer you in reality. As an engineer, you are not equipped with high-end laptops. You are not going to have an workstation or a stationary desk at work (only a laptop). As a temporary employee, you have no new year bonus or any benefit as a permanent employee. If you are not an EU citizen you will mainly get an L permit to work in Switzerland for a temporary position which is not a good permit.
