Pros
Good options for food at cafeterias Below market prices for salad bar Good people who mostly seem to have work/life balance Fair treatment of contractors Flexible with time/off schedule – all depends on your management and team Free coffee, and espresso machines throughout floors
Cons
It’s a big company and there are of course politics Decisions don’t always get made through a consistent channel Seems to be a lot of “speculating” going on with regards to how the Roche merger will impact Genentech, Inc. Management is pretty removed from the day-to-day of employees but in the same way that all companies this size experience it There does seem to be a fair amount of people that are overworked and really stressed, again depends on project, management, team and area of expertise
