Business Outlook
Pros
The connection to patients irrespective of position makes the work rewarding. While salaries in some parts of the organization may be in decline employees are still well paid and have access to a wealth of benefits whether they realize it or not. Genentech's pipeline is unmatched in the industry, but will it continue with the change in environment and culture. There are still a lot of great, passionate, smart people at Genentech committed to doing what's right for patients.
Cons
having the right manager is key & unfortunately it's difficult to get from under a bad manager/leader work life balance is non-existent hiring and promotions are often not fair or transparent
