      Pros

      It's not the worst out there, work life balance is treated well.

      Cons

      It is FAR from the high tech company they advertise to be. Wiped out benefits during covid, managers are trash and on yearly employee audits managers get horrible reviews but nothing changes, a revolving door of VIPs take all the funding while they blame the labs working on skeleton crews. VIP's directly tell you it's not about helping people, its about getting them a new yacht (no joke). Tons of office politics, and I've seen some disturbing anti-lgbt actions. Tons of company cover-ups whenever they do any wrongdoing. Not as bad as Thermo, but they will totally screw you over on pay and FTE conversion.

      Thanks for taking time to share your view. We firmly believe that every employee at Roche deserves an excellent Leader – someone who inspires and encourages teamwork. For this reason, we formulated the “Leadership Commitments” in 2012 based on the input of 1,500 senior managers. They set clear expectations for today and the future. The aim is to promote and emphasise the importance of good managers at Roche. We expect everyone to demonstrate these commitments every single day. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future within our company.

      RUN FOR THE HILLS

      Pros

      Everyone said the benefits were great but I don’t think their benefits package justified them treating you like a high schooler.

      Cons

      MICROMANAGED to the point where you have to ask for permission to use the bathroom. If you enjoyed the worst parts of high school then this is the place for you!! You don’t care about your well being at all. They belittle people and make you feel insignificant. Management is a joke, they don’t know what they’re doing or how to talk to people. Worst place I have ever worked for. I suggest you run for the hills because it’s only getting worst.

      Pros

      Overall package and benefits are competitive

      Cons

      Management doesn't address the things that are not right or going wrong. They don't say anything to the senior staff within your team that demoralize and patronize you because they are afraid the senior staff will leave the team and take all the knowledge with them leaving the department in a bad place. Poor training structure and no support. HR are not helpful either and don't take complaints about managers seriously. They always side with the managers over everything. One rule for person and another rule someone else. No consistency.
