      Going Downhill - Senior Quality Leader Roche Employee Review

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, amazing 401k matching, Long Term Incentives for Director and above are great. Fair amount of work-life balance. Company is focused on customer/patient and a diverse workforce.

      Cons

      Salaries are somewhat low - merits are not in line with inflation. Transform D has ruined the culture throughout the org - people don't feel secure and safe. It no longer feels like people first. Layers of leadership have been removed and the remaining leaders have too many direct reports across too many geographies. This has resulted in a focus on fire fighting and less on people development/growth. Leaders are grossly diluted and will burn out eventually. HR and IT are awful. Everything goes through a Costa Rica call center and it takes days or weeks to get anything done. It is very cumbersome and broken. HR and IT used to be so supportive and localized. This is all gone and more and more functions are moving to a centralized model. It is slowly destroying the organization. I would wait 1-2 years for the dust to settle before joining the organization.

      Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

      Cons

      As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
