Pros

East Bay large pharma/diagnostics company affiliates with Genentech

Cons

Genentech views Roche diagnostics as nonrelevant. Roche diagnostics middle Management is a joke and more focused on micromanagement, politics, and territorial bureaucracy. This company continues to promote toxic managers who roll over dedicated employees for the sake of ‘agile’ workflows. Most middle managers are all out for themselves and will backstab you any chance they get to make themselves look better and positioning themselves for any political maneuver.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
