I love the work we do

Pros

The work is challenging and I enjoy my day-to-day tasks. I feel I am well paid. I genuinely like and respect my co-workers. I also enjoy assisting and interacting with customers.

Cons

Poorly defined departmental duties and individual roles. Initiatives tend to be rolled out without adequate communication between departments impacted. We seem to manage ourselves most of the time, but at a certain point this can be frustrating and at times feels like we are set up to fail.

Pros

Strong product pipeline and market reputation

Cons

Over emphasis on policies (diversity & inclusion and moving jobs to lower cost locations) have created: 1) Limited career growth opportunities 2) Inexperienced and incompetent leadership

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. At Roche, individuals are responsible for their own career. We offer you a workplace where the job description does not define who you are. Rather, it is the starting point for results that help to improve people's lives. We offer career opportunities in the Group companies and at the headquarters, as well as various site-specific plans and programmes. But that’s not all. Based on individual performance, experience and interests, we also enable cross-divisional, interdisciplinary and cross-border career paths. Our leaders are prepared for their role through training. In line with our values ​​and our seven leadership commitments as guidelines, we expect them to continually make use of the education and training programmes specifically tailored to their needs. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future.
