Pros

Overall Genentech is a great company. They care about their employees by giving them great benefits! They also have a lot of employee culture building activities, such as the hohos, concerts, and holiday parties.

Cons

The organization does a lot of restructuring every few years. I noticed recently there's been quite if few executive management leaving Genentech for other companies. It is also hard to get certain changes pushed through because processes that impact the network also need to be vetted with other sites. My particular site is known to be more conservative, which may have ultimately resulted it is current day situation.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
