Pros

Modern office located in a prime area. High-quality ergonomic chairs, well-designed interiors, and well-equipped meeting rooms. The company is expanding in India, particularly in Pune, creating new job opportunities. Strong exposure to the pharmaceutical domain, offering valuable industry knowledge. Cab facility provided. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Prevalence of office politics and instances of micromanagement. Not recommended for early-career professionals unless no other option is available. Subpar medical insurance policy with no top-up option available. Inefficient and unprofessional finance and HR (hiring) teams. Plans to expand the workforce are leading to a reduction in employee benefits. Long-tenured employees from Roche may not be very supportive technically. Networking and participation in extra-curricular activities often weigh heavily in promotion decisions, sometimes more than technical performance. Mandatory three-day office attendance policy.

Pros

To gain experience for places like Lilly or other diagnostic organizatons.

Cons

Management and re-orgs. No one is safe in their jobs. People put into positions with no experience and don't receive proper training.

We expect this from all Roche leaders so that employees are supported with opportunities to continually discover, learn, develop and excel. We strive to hire and engage awesome and talented people throughout our company. We want our employees to be heard, challenged, and inspired every day. We also believe that as we hire more diverse talent, we will have more diverse thought, experiences, and leadership styles that will continue to help us grow and elevate as a company.
