Pros

The bench work scientists are an educated and highly devoted group of individuals. They are a team oriented group of workers. Benefits are good and Roche is a very stable company.

Cons

Mid Level Managers / Supervisors were not very knowledgeable about detailed aspects of the tests. Many of the mid level supervisors were good at delegated assignments but did not input much of the technical knowledge. A large percentage of supervisors are hired from outside companies and very rarely promoted from within Roche. Roche employs a large percentage of contract workers. Many hope to secure a permanent full time position but few do.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
