Genentech reviews

The badge color mentality is unbelievable: if you're a blue badge (permanent full time) then Genentech can't be beat! If you're a red badge (highly paid consultant) then you're treated with respect but the working conditions are terrible: 10 people jammed into bull pens so tightly you're knocking elbows with each other. People find places to "hide" with their laptops so they can get work in peace and quiet and you're not allowed to work in an empty conference room either. Green badges are the bottom of the barrel, usually clerical workers, jammed into skinny tables in the hallways where everyone walks by and can't help but look over all the time, or the bull pens or forced to occupy tiny cubicles barely big enough for one person no less two.

Lets see where to I begin.... New people are being hired with less experience and brought in at higher positions yet the people that have been with the company for years with a lot of experience aren't getting promoted. Not a good place to work if you are black!! Racism is rampant and promotions are only for those who are friends with the manager. I have seen many people get promoted after one year and others work hard for years and get nothing. If the economy was any better I can certainly see a lot of qualified hard working people leaving the company. Not a good place to work at all. Its a struggle to go to work everyday. Too many politics and BS in this company!!!
