Pros

Amazing company culture and colleagues that are hard to find somewhere else! As well, benefits and compensations are above standards. The company (in global level) is seeking for entrepreneurial mindset, mutual trust and respect

Cons

Questionable how few managers ended up at the position, when whole managerial core work is done from subordinates. Additionally, some are trying to prove their value in the company through trainings and presentations, while their positions are discounted globally and competitors have outsourced them. Perfunctory work, focusing on quantity and not quality job. No career development and opportunities, unless politics and nepotism is on your side, no matter performance and quality. Due to nepotism, few long-time and really capable employees that have been loyal to the company and have added enormous value, have been fired in order to be replaced with “friends”

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.
