Toxic culture at Roche

Pros

Products are best in class with regard to accuracy.

Cons

Careerists run this company. Only care about maintaining their status and jobs. Poor leadership throughout the company. Most leaders are lost and confused about their roles. Politics drive all decisions. Best employees either leave or are driven out.

Pros

nice views - literally that's it

Cons

Corrupt, unethical and incompetent management. Get ready to see massive payouts to former employees for wrongful termination. HR is a complete joke. Literally NO ethics department - what does that tell you?!

Pros

The salary and benefits are quite good. Roche enjoys a good reputation in the IVD. The jobs are interesting and challenging.

Cons

Roche is a very political organization with very few experienced people in mid- and senior management level positions. Employees are not judged on their contributions; they're often judged based on who likes whom resulting in significant amounts of mobbing (bullying). Consequently, top talent frequently leaves the company and this is weakening their sales and marketing strength. And if you're a woman in the organization, your chances of being promoted to a management position are slim. This is a company that actually has an MBO to promote women into management roles. What does that tell you about how women are really thought of at Roche? If you're a man and you know how to mob your staff, your chances of getting ahead are far more increased. Treating your staff fairly just doesn't seem to be the real Roche way even though you will read that 81% of employees are happy working at Roche. It's rubbish! Don't believe one word that Roche employees are so satisfied with working there. If you are considering a position with this company, don't walk...RUN in the opposite direction!
