Pros

-Good Salary -JD for biotechnologist has been streamlined to ensure that main operations and not additional non value added work is given to biotechnologist -Good opportunities to move around if you wanted

Cons

-Horrible co-workers with lots of politics and causing a toxic work environment -Sups are oblivious to the politics in their team and act as if nothing happened. -Refuse to listen to the biotechs at all times and think that all faults are in the biotechs (blame culture) -"yes" man culture -good biotechs who can deliver work are not appreciated and seen and most of the times, given more workload than the rest of the biotechs, causing mental health distress and burnout -mental health talks are all 'talks' and no 'walks' -Horrible machinery that breaks down often and expecting the biotechs to pick up the work and rush

Pros

East Bay large pharma/diagnostics company affiliates with Genentech

Cons

Genentech views Roche diagnostics as nonrelevant. Roche diagnostics middle Management is a joke and more focused on micromanagement, politics, and territorial bureaucracy. This company continues to promote toxic managers who roll over dedicated employees for the sake of ‘agile’ workflows. Most middle managers are all out for themselves and will backstab you any chance they get to make themselves look better and positioning themselves for any political maneuver.

Pros

1. free breakfast 2. many benefits - epf, flex, sports activities, insurance etc

Cons

1. make sure u can survive 2. how? suck up to manager, avoid mistakes (extra careful in anything that you do) 3. else, be ready to be kick out of the door (they have their methods) 4. if you wanna climb up fast, u need to know people and have visibility. Communication, networking, and social skills are an asset here.
