Genentech Technical Development Research Associate reviews

Genentech has been a place where people care about their work, and are focused on getting things done. Management is relatively competent and does not often stand in the way of progress. The culture is fantastic, and the company does a very good job of recognizing and rewarding individual and team success. In a large company it is easy to lose sight of what you do, and how it fits into the big picture. Genentech does a very good job to make sure everyone sees the positive impact its products have on patients. This sort of thing goes beyond money or recognition, and is a tremendous motivating factor for everyone that I work with.

Speaking from my experience in research and development , Genentech is fantastic development for ambitious workers, particularly from people coming from academia looking to jump into industry jobs. The best description is an accelerated research environment. Worrying about logistics (worrying about ordering supplies, how much are these reagents going to cost, stuff like that) is never an obstacle for doing a study. Research groups are very eager to help one another. It is very easy to find an expert willing to offer assistance.
