Pros

The chance to work with very talented engineers and scientists in a variety of fields.

Cons

Due to a series of setbacks and strategic misteps, Roche has recently terminated internal development of all next generation sequencing, and laid off 2/3 of R&D. Morale is very low. No compelling new direction has been presented to the people who remain in R&D.

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
