Decent Start to a Career in Biotech - Manufacturing Technician Genentech Employee Review

Genentech does very impactful work and the collaboration amongst different teams is strong.

I can't think of any cons.

Loved working with my team. Super collaborative and exciting science. Great benefits and work life balance. Love the balance between pipeline and publication.

Super slow promotion rates that are more dependent on tenure, rather than contribution. We've also had yearly rounds of layoffs for the past four years. It is truly difficult to maintain any level of trust with upper management. However, layoff benefits at Genentech seem to be generous.
