Pros

great life and work balance at the main campus, on site gym, 4-5 different cafeteria to choose from, campus shuttles, on site child care and car wash. Easy going work culture with focus on patients and quality.

Cons

Roche integration implemented more bureaucracy into the company and morale changed after rounds of restructuring.

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.
