Pros

working at a company that does make a difference to the patients and their families lives makes going to work worthwhile, enabling them to live longer if just by a few months make a qorld of difference.

Cons

the Roche comglomerate is making changes to the company that will be detrimentral in the long run both the company and eventually the patients. the 'brain drain' has become significant enough that the future pipeline is jepordized

Overall mission - helps saves lives

Cons

Too political and often a career black hole once you get in, many people drop a level or two to get in and then cannot get back to that level
