      Great industry exposure, but lack of support and retaliation culture overshadow the benefits.

      Pros

      - Global company with strong industry presence. Provides opportunities to work on high-impact projects in the pharma sector. - Exposure to international markets. Chance to collaborate with teams across different countries and gain valuable experience. - Some great colleagues. Many talented and supportive peers who genuinely care about their work. - Potential for learning. If you are proactive, you can develop valuable skills and gain insights into the industry. - Good benefits package. Competitive salary and benefits, though they may not always compensate for the high workload.

      Cons

      - Lack of inclusion for neurodiverse employees. The company is not mature in its ways of working with neurodiverse individuals. - Retaliation culture. Management tends to respond negatively to feedback or concerns raised by employees. - Unmanageable workloads. Employees are expected to handle excessive work with little to no support. - Poor work-life balance. Long hours and constant pressure make it difficult to maintain a healthy balance. - Toxic management culture. Favoritism and internal politics create an unfair and stressful work environment.

      Full of politics and biasness towards people

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Modern office located in a prime area. High-quality ergonomic chairs, well-designed interiors, and well-equipped meeting rooms. The company is expanding in India, particularly in Pune, creating new job opportunities. Strong exposure to the pharmaceutical domain, offering valuable industry knowledge. Cab facility provided. Good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Prevalence of office politics and instances of micromanagement. Not recommended for early-career professionals unless no other option is available. Subpar medical insurance policy with no top-up option available. Inefficient and unprofessional finance and HR (hiring) teams. Plans to expand the workforce are leading to a reduction in employee benefits. Long-tenured employees from Roche may not be very supportive technically. Networking and participation in extra-curricular activities often weigh heavily in promotion decisions, sometimes more than technical performance. Mandatory three-day office attendance policy.
