Pros

Big company, very good R&D, good products, acceptable pay, people are nice and gentle, say nice things to each other. This might change after acquired Gennetech.

Cons

Too gentle and soft, not aggressive enough, slow compared with other competitors, promotion ladder is somehow not clear and fair.

Pros

The bench work scientists are an educated and highly devoted group of individuals. They are a team oriented group of workers. Benefits are good and Roche is a very stable company.

Cons

Mid Level Managers / Supervisors were not very knowledgeable about detailed aspects of the tests. Many of the mid level supervisors were good at delegated assignments but did not input much of the technical knowledge. A large percentage of supervisors are hired from outside companies and very rarely promoted from within Roche. Roche employs a large percentage of contract workers. Many hope to secure a permanent full time position but few do.
