I have been working at Roche full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Things are pretty stable in the company (its not going anywhere) - Benefits are expansive - Good work/life balance
Cons
- Seems that the only way to progress in the company is to jump teams. Its rare to see promotions for people who stay on the same team, only when they move to another team. - Pay is much less than similar positions in the area - Disconnect between upper management and actual workers

Pros
There are a bunch of awesome people to work with. The project is super cool and involves multiple cutting edge technologies which is honestly pretty special. Consistent high attendance happy hours.
Cons
Upper management doesn't know what they're doing, how to hire managers, how to fire toxic employees, etc Still no sales. Below market wage. A lot of below average, hard to work with employees.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Roche full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
The benefits (not including pay) is the only thing that keeps me here
Cons
I’ve been here nearly 18 years and it’s a revolving door with good people coming in and then leaving while bad people keep getting promoted and having their egos inflated. Upper management is political, rude, not transparent, and total cronies. You can’t trust anyone to not throw you under the bus. And the company claims they are working on their ‘cultural beliefs’ But those are all just HR check the box activities that none of upper management loves up to. I’m so sick of the antics, egos, and jockeying for positions. They’ll tell you one thing in the interview and once you start you’ll be doing something else because of ‘resource constraints’ and ‘we’re doing more with less’ So you get sucked dry of all energy. Don’t be fooled!

Pros
Substantial resources Good reputation among physicians Opportunities for development Adept at identifying takeover targets
Cons
Extremely political work environment. Truth is a negotiable concept. Upper management are very disconnected from the realities of the business. R&D has had very limited success in Europe (luckily Genentech & Chugai are effective).
