Pros

- company provides great support for learning, development and other benefits - good support during reorganization or you are redundant - great source of information

Cons

- extremely political. - people focuses on networking to survive more than gaining content as this is more important to stay when reorganizing or changes are happening - all ideas and strategies are built by external consulting firms (BCG, Deloitte or Mckinsey) so it's more important to be able to have better comm skill (presentation) than being smart. - quietly hard working people don't get successful at Roche. Go do coffee and attend networking events. that's the way to keep your job at Roche.

Pros

Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

Cons

As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
