Pros

I worked here as an intern and they provided a very good learning experience with many opportunities to talk to leaders in the company.

Cons

The company went through some rough times laying people off so unfortunately I was not able to return for another internship. Many people I met who worked there were laid off.

Pros

A long history of a good work environment with good manager support and reasonable expectations and rewards.

Cons

Until recently the positions were stable and changes resulted in reassignment of personnel rather than downsizing. More recently company has taken downsizing as a standard practice which is more inline with other pharmaceutical companies.

Pros

Many opportunities on careers, large portfolio of interesting drugs. Multi-cultural environment in particular in HQ Europe. Willingness to take care of employees. Promotion of values and not only of money.

Cons

Unstable senior management. Opportunities very much concentrated in San Francisco. Quality of life of many employees severely impacted following merge with Genentech and Operational Excellence initiative. People much more afraid to speak out. Employees are more encouraged to say what management want to hear independantly of the mid-long term consequences for the company.
