Pros

Many opportunities on careers, large portfolio of interesting drugs. Multi-cultural environment in particular in HQ Europe. Willingness to take care of employees. Promotion of values and not only of money.

Cons

Unstable senior management. Opportunities very much concentrated in San Francisco. Quality of life of many employees severely impacted following merge with Genentech and Operational Excellence initiative. People much more afraid to speak out. Employees are more encouraged to say what management want to hear independantly of the mid-long term consequences for the company.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
