Pluspunten

Great benefits, excellent medical coverage, cool perks, respected industry leader, tons of intelligent colleagues, optimism is celebrated, 6 week sabbatical after 6 years tenure. If you work for the company for a lifetime, you can go far... but you will go faster and further at a smaller company

Minpunten

Cultish devotion to company is encouraged, promotions and opportunities are distributed corresponding to leadership favorites, there's a lot of backstabbing, and perceptions of your peers are given more weight than your actual accomplishments. If you aren't picked to work on an opportunity, you won't be recognized for your accomplishments. New employees are paid at a higher rate than experienced counterparts. The cost of living raises do not reflect the actual cost of living increases, therefore, you are making less money the longer you work there. You are paid below industry standards, so you will have a hard time explaining that in new interviews. You can not voice a perspective that conflicts with leadership or you will be punished.

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

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Minpunten

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
