Pros

Challenging demanding work. Great benefits. Decent pay. A lot of knowledgeable, educated workers.

Cons

New building in Indy for RDC takes around twenty minutes to park and get set up in the new open area work station concept. All employees, mangers, directors, and vps all sit out on the floor now. Has the feel of working in a fishbowl constantly being monitored. Parking garage is a decent distant from the buildings so will make for long hike during the winters and rainy days. Also, hard to move around to new opportunities especially if you have been locked into one for a number of years.

Pros

Good coworkers and respectful managers. People are passionate and driven. The science is good and the products are good. Not high stress.

Cons

Byzantine management structure and artificial barriers between groups preclude efficient decision making. Up to 25% lower pay for being in a division that uses acquired companies' pay structures.

Pros

They make me feel wanted and welcomed at Roche. My coworkers treat me as a true colleague (even though I'm an intern) and are just as excited to learn from me as I am from them.

Cons

While the pay and benefits are amazing, it appears that the growth trajectory at Roche can be limited. This is a beloved company and many people work there 10, 20, even 40 years. With people working there so long, it makes it very difficult to move up (based on my observations)
