Pros

Benefits are still good, not near where they used to be though. Good opportunities to work in a global organization and travel, if that excites you.

Cons

Roche is rapidly cutting salaries, staff, and benefits. Management is not transparent, decision making is poor, and there is no clarity around strategy at the individual or company level.

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.
