Pluspunten

Benefits are great and the campus is top notch Work-Life balance was the best I ever had. Independent Contributor is actually really independent.

Minpunten

Genentech is unfortunately in decline. I had 6 managers in 10 years...crazy turnover and upheavals/confusion constantly. The C-suite caliber is very underwhelming. Product Development leadership has been especially chaotic. Most PD leaders put in 1-2 years and then leave for other companies, selling their "transformation" efforts as successes. We see what you are doing and we are not amused by your scorched earth approach. Genentech leadership, even if they wanted to, have no power over their Swiss overlords. In the meantime, US Business Consulting companies are making bank to generate the Pharma Visions and roadmaps of impractical agile organizational transformations. The rolling layoffs are being sold as strategic decisions but they have been completely outsourced, of course they are, and were pretty random. Not only has Genentech suffered braindrain for years due to the Transformation chaos, with these numerous, apparentely random? layoffs they let a bunch of experts go without anyone at Genentech reviewing the Consulting company's list of selected individuals. I hate conspiracies but is Roche trying to kill Genentech by a thousand little cuts until nobody wants to work there and they can shut the whole place down? What a clown car.

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.
