A lot of independence, diverse work force

No opportunities for growth, promotions are reserved for specific teams

- Products, doing something that helps society - Good comp (though what you negotiate at the beginning will have a big impact but that's true for most companies) - Possibilities to learn and grow, also to go abroad - Mature organization - Genentech

- Promotions are not always happening based on actual skills and performance - As a result, working with some of the managers is challenging - Big corporation, meaning: has the advantages of it but also cons - procedures, processes, roles that could be cut with Occam's Razor, so be prepared for a lot of people approving/planning/executing everything - especially since it's in a highly regulated industry

Career development depends on your personal relation with the management. Lack of honesty and transparency from the management. Vital decisions about your role and career are taken without discussing it with the employer. Lack of stability & high turn over since 2012. Lack of "genuine" diversity. Promotions are based on personal relataions, like & dislike, & not based on your performance and achievements. Lack of experience and maturity from certain employees at vital positions. Your "NATIONALITY" plays a big role in your development.
