Pros

Great Benefits with good science, Good products, trying to maintain great culture of Genentech vs Roche. Good leadership at the top

Cons

Has become big pharma. Too many reps for what is needed. Everyone afraid to speak up that there isn't enough to do for fear of job security. Not much flexibility to think outside of the box.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
