Pros

Nice building, nice company car, reasonnable salary, good benefits. Nothing else.

Cons

The worse management ever. Low moral. No consideration for people. Many people left on sick leave or resigned while I was there. This was considered by management as "normal" turn over, therefore no improvements were to be made...

Pros

1.Big blue chip company with many global opportunities to move a progress your career across the world. 2. Looks good on your CV. 3. Relatively stable company in a difficult industry. 4. Friendly staff. 5. Good staff training. 6. Nice office facilities.

Cons

1. Greater and greater emphasis on centralized processes that lead to edicts from the "Leadership". 2.The point above leads to managers implementing local solutions but framing results to look like they are the great ideas the "Leadership" has been so kind to share and insist we implement. 3. Old ideas are re-badged as new. New bosses never ask if an idea has been tried before. They just assume they have best ideas. 4. "Leadership" that asks for feed back but does not act on it and sidelines personnel who give feedback that does not toe the party line. 5. After a staff survey showed they were heading in the wrong direction for staff satisfaction 3 years ago, latest survey shows they have scored even lower for the same issues raised 3 years ago. 6. Are perceived as arrogant by customers and competitors. 7. They pay less than their competitors

Pros

Nothing positive to say at all

Cons

I cannot express how badly I have been treated by the senior leadership at the Burgess Hill office. Making decisions that affect people’s careers and lives without any attempt to seek the truth or any thought for their wellbeing. In a world where ‘be kind’ is used frequently, Roche, and more specifically the Burgess Hill office is anything but kind. Trust me you would be well advised to steer clear of this organisation.
