Pluspunten

-Genentech makes a great effort of hiring smart and capable people, so most of your co-workers are great to work with -Nice campus and amenities -Okay salary

Minpunten

Basically everything related to culture. -Maybe you'll have a team outing twice a year if that, no sense of community within departments -One manager for a lot of employees so barely any time to discuss career opportunities, feels like very limited interaction with manager -Promotion structure is terrible if you're entry-mid level and only happens in infrequent cycles (once-twice a year max). So many hoops to jump through to get promoted, but they're more than happy to bring in external hires above you that you'll end up training. -Management is out of touch with their employees experience despite receiving feedback -High contractor turnover so always dealing with people "getting up to speed"

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.
