Pros
The pay is very good for this area.
Cons
I have had a horrible experience with Genentech. The training they gave my new hire class was stressful, abrasive, and unhelpful. I had to leave pointed feedback about one of the case managers who was a sarcastic bully. I had a panic attack because of their behavior and literally was crying during a session. It’s very complicated material to learn. Which is fine, but if you’re atypical or a slower learner they absolutely do not care. I wrote two letters detailing my disappointment and critiques. Every single other new hire in my group also agreed with my feedback and two other people shared that they had been brought to tears by the trainers. Another person who was atypical ended up quitting fairly quickly because of the treatment. That’s absolutely unacceptable. Since I am atypical but also very passionate, I have to constantly advocate for myself. As a result, it’s taking me even more time to grasp the material as I’m constantly anxious about being let go because I’m differently abled. I have been employed at a company where I was harassed everyday because of racism, and I think I’d rather deal with that than deal with ableist people who are simply mean.
