Pros

This is a very intellectually stimulating place to work. I am always learning something new and people are very willing to share information and ideas. Patients always come first which is an important guiding light for the company.

Cons

Opportunities for career growth are limited in some instances and in some parts of the company. Post-merger the opportunities for learning late stage drug development are limited within Genentech Research and Early Development.
