Pros

Good salary with benefits, nice campus that's not too big, and lots of amenities (Cafeteria, gym, social events, dinners to go). People are friendly and retires and ex-employess often come back to visit. Many people with 30+ yrs at company.

Cons

Since Roche brought out Genentech, the environment has become less secure and friendly. The seat of power in the US is now at Genentech in San Francisco.

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
