Pros

Many smart, capable people working here. You are always challenged and have interesting things to work on. Patient focus and drive to produce life-saving products. Great experience.

Cons

Wholly owned by Roche. The parent company is slowly dismantling the US portion of the biotech company that started a generation of companies. They have systematically down-sized the American plants since the acquisition.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
