Pros

The community feel, benefits, and knowing the value of the work performed were the highlights of working there.

Cons

Take my thoughts with a grain of salt - it is such a huge company that each department will have it's own unique pros/cons. Mine had frustrating upper management that seemed to make decisions to our work schedule or staff numbers caring more about their own performance reviews that the actual impact to ergo issues or sustainability following the ripple effects of their decisions.

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.
