What is working from home like at Roche?

Good culture, benefits, and work from home opportunities.

Few to none in-person interactions if working remote. No travel budget.

Great company to work for, decent salary and working conditions. Facilities are top notch and the working type is relatively flexible with Hybrid and work from home.

Middle management quality is deteriorating rapidly as the focus is shifting on cost cutting. Little interest in internal career development, don't expect a promotion unless you are ready to leave and apply elsewhere. Recognition is pretty shallow.

Competitive Salary: The company offers competitive compensation, reflecting the skills and contributions of its workforce. Excellent Benefits: Comprehensive health insurance, generous pension plans, and flexible work arrangements provide a strong work-life balance. Meaningful Purpose: Knowing that your work directly contributes to improving healthcare outcomes for patients globally adds a profound sense of fulfilment. Global Reach: Opportunities to work on international projects offer valuable exposure to diverse markets and cultures. Innovation-Driven: A strong focus on digital transformation and data-driven solutions keeps the company at the forefront of the healthcare industry.

Complex Structures: Being a multinational organisation, navigating internal processes and hierarchies can sometimes feel slow and bureaucratic. High Expectations: The pace of work and the demand for excellence can feel challenging, particularly during critical project phases. Change Management: With a focus on innovation and transformation, there can be frequent changes that require adaptability, which not all employees may find comfortable.

None that I can mention

+ The work itself is interesting, there's a variety of projects with meaningful impact. There are also many opportunities and options to move within the company. + The gig-based system allows people to try new things across Roche and supports people who don't hesitate to join a new role. + The colleagues are amazing and the offices are pleasant with an onsite gym and canteen. + There are also a lot of employee-organised clubs and activities if you have time for them. + The company is transitioning towards more modern ways of working with data. + Teams operate in agile methodology which particularly in data science works well. + Various open-source, cross-industry collaborations have meaningful impact. + The sick leave policy is flexible, as well as the policy to occasionally change working patterns or hours.

- The company mandates 2 days on average in the office. Effectively a burden for anyone who does not live in the Hertfordshire area or Northwest London. - The company uses badge swipe data to measure how often a person has been in the office. If this is below average, then disciplinary action may follow. This feels outdated and creates a culture lacking trust, and an uninclusive environment. - There's zero allowance to work from abroad. This is unfortunate if you are not from the UK and have family and relatives abroad. - Permanent work from home is not an option unless in extreme circumstances. - The overall 25 days of annual leave is a statutory minimum and other companies I have been working for had usually higher amounts. This is especially low considering how inflexible is the remote working policy. - The HR or People and Culture are nonexistent on the site and barely visible. They do not gather employee feedback and do not work efficiently to update policies in time. - The upper management and head of the site are detached from the real work the employees are doing and do not trust that they can perform effectively even outside the office. - The company and head of site rely on blanket policies (e.g. 2-day mandate, etc.) instead of trusting line managers to find effective solutions with employees that fit the business needs and align with company values. - The career progression seems slower than in other industries and somewhat difficult to predict.

The benefits were great and the coworkers were nice to work with.

Too many people take advantage of the work from home option

Benefits are superb, pay is subpar compared to other local businesses.

Management is non existent. Diversity and inclusion are a joke. They will work you everyday without any consideration for your home life then discard you when they no longer can afford your salary.
