Pluspunten

Used to be a lot, now not so much - still very good benefits and a six week paid time off sabbatical after working for six years

Minpunten

1. ROCHE (FHLR) - 100% own Genentech since 2009, at first they left us pretty much alone - NOW - completely have taken over - more and more senior roles moved to the HQ at Basel. 2. ROCHE - it's now all about the bottom line to the accountants in Finance - more and more jobs at lower levels being 'exported' to cheaper locations like Canada (Mississauga), Costa Rica, Hungary (Budapest). It's cheaper to hire people there. ENTIRE functions, like Vendor Finance and Procurement have been or are in the process of being moved away from the Genentech South San Francisco campus 3. Almost impossible to get promoted - unless you know the right contacts - it's not at all about merit and HR don't want to promote anyone as it means paying more salary to that person

Pluspunten

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Minpunten

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
