Pluspunten

Great work-life balance. Very competitive pay and industry-leading employee benefits, an amazing campus with shuttle buses, an onsite gym, dozens of delicious cafeterias, Ho Ho parties, onsite dental daycare nail and spa salon golf truck. Sabbaticals every 6 years.

Minpunten

Many great scientists left over the years the ones who stayed often tended to be arrogant, incompetent, and still live in their bubble, which resulted in below-than-industry-average R&D productivity. There have been so many failures with limited success in recent years, Lampa, lebri, Etro, PTX-2, Ipat, pralsetinib, cancer vaccine, and sky06. You can't always blame Roche for failures. Rarely was management held accountable for the horrible decision-making and the dysfunctional reward system

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.
