Pros

Excellent fertility benefits. Excellent paid parental leave (for mothers, full paid leave is 18-20 weeks). 401k match. Winter holiday shutdown.

Cons

Potentially lower base salary than market rate. If you are remote, there is a "severe" recalculation of your financial compensation based on your new zipcode.

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.
