Pros

Great comp and benefits; opportunity to work with smart and hardworking people both at Genentech and Roche; great resources (personal and professional); flexible and family friendly; wonderful company to work for overall. Company values and focus on quality, compliance and safety make for a very high integrity environment.

Cons

Career development depends on your function - some move quickly, others want you to go slow and steady. It can be challenging sometimes to feel like you're making a difference bc you're part of such a large organization.

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.
