      Pros

      Speaking for North American division, great benefits and development opportunities. One's colleagues are among the best in the industry. Therefore, to get ahead networking is a must.

      Cons

      Office politics sometimes gets in the way of recognition of true contributions. In terms of personal development, one must be accountable to pursue opportunities even it means dealing with difficult managers.

      Pros

      Easy commute to NYC via public transportation. Good benefits, many campus amaenities (ie, on-site doctors/nurses, cafeteria, friendly people, social activities/clubs sponsored by Roche). Salary is good

      Cons

      Layoffs have occurred due to the genetech take over Morale is suffering Colleagues at Genetech are very arrogant and filled with false self-importance Little opportunities in Nutley due to site being downgraded from an HQ to an R&D backwater

      Not a Science-based company

      Pros

      HLR has the infra-structure to do good research and innovating product development. There is resources available to do good science. There is access to advanced scientific knowledge to do good basic and applied research.

      Cons

      Croniism: employees either do what they're told or lose their jobs if they're ever considered "challenging" management competency/decision making. There is systematic witholding critical information for scientist to do research (insecurity from the top down). There is systematic covering up of mistakes from the bottom up, especially lower lever managements (dishonesty). There is absolutely no respect and no support for the foot soldier employees, thus talents are wasted. Meanwhile there are so many lazy employees taking advantage of the cronies in the incompetence management and just benefit in the "Roche welfare" system (one director to another: you hire my wife, I hire your wife).
