Roche Molecular not only promotes, but also inspires under-performance!

Business Outlook

Pros

Work is pretty slow, so lot of leisurely time.

Cons

1. The company has a history of under-performance - its performance is significantly low as compared to its competitors. 2. More emphasis on physical presence than actual work being done. Don't have deadlines if you already intend to miss/push it. That sends the message that you are not serious. 3. 2-3 hour lunches are a norm rather than a luxury. Coming late and leaving early is fashionable too. 4. The recession saw a lot of good people leave and bad ones stay because of favoritism. Lot of politics, blame-game and favoritism. 5. HR-your job should be to find and RETAIN good workers; not to terminate them based on some man-made, inflexible rules.
