Pros

Hoffmann-La Roche is a company with good values. They advocate "Do the Right Thing". People are placed in positions where they can contribute and also advance in their career. The information system portfolio process is transparent.

Cons

A promotion takes a long time and depends on being given highly visible projects in terms of scope (e.g., global) and funding (>$1M). Few people get the opportunity to deliver, thereby justifying a promotion. The process of advancing drug candidates through the pipeline has not been transparent, although the name and number of candidates are published internally.
