Pros

Employee benefits are good and continuously improving. Work-life balance depends on your role and function but for manufacturing wise it is rather good and respectable. Generally the staff were all friendly.

Cons

Poor career progression and opportunities. Little internal opportunities available due to slow or lack of department restructures in most departments. Management level is rather conservative and unwilling to give junior or younger employees challenges and opportunities. Very rigid and careers are often very stagnant with no growth possible despite false promises by management.

We understand that career growth is a key part of the employee experience—and at Roche, we believe each person plays an active role in shaping their own development. That autonomy is something we value, and we’re committed to providing the tools and opportunities to support it. Whether through learning platforms like Cornerstone, short-term gig assignments, mentorship, or upskilling programs, there are many ways for employees to explore new skills, gain experience, and expand their impact. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these resources and to work with their leaders to chart a development path that’s meaningful to them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts—your input helps us continue to improve how we support career growth across the organization. Roche Talent Marketing

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
