Pros
Benefits are top tier, large company means so much opportunity and options for career path, you can learn something new almost every day, Roche really puts the customer first and always is trying to improve whether it’s internal processes, constantly developing new technology and testing, how they handled the pandemic (Working from home March 2020-current [August 2021]), open work stations not cubicles, campus buildings look brand new feels like you’re working in the future, such a flexible and understanding company who clearly cares for employees and shows it via the benefits and campus facilities (gym, cafe, wellness center, Starbucks, park, latte coffee makers everywhere), seen growth in culture over last few years - seen a lot of younger faces with fresh eyes and more people of all ages open to process improvement changes or system upgrades
Cons
A LOT of people changes in 2021 which lead to a lot of underprepared transitions and overworked departments (although it’s clear these moves will be beneficial long term) it’s just stressful and messy right now, siloed departments and even regions of the country, highly regulated industry so sometimes change takes a really long time or process improvement is limited, sometimes because the company is so large it’s hard to keep up with company news or people changes in other departments you work with regularly, in the last few years a lot of tenured (30-50 years with Roche) senior management and executives have retired which leaves the typical hiccups that comes with leadership change and the ripple it has through the chain of leadership
