Roche reviews

If you want to stay in Brazil, and are not willing to work abroad, you may not achieve a General Management or Finance Manager position, which are traditionally more intended for expatriate managers or Brazilians who have worked abroad and/or have established good connections to headquarters. But that is true for many other multinational companies as well. There have been several major changes in management, organization and even culture in the last years, which would leave every company in a state of transition and anxiety about what comes next. The company gives interesting challenges to talented employees but often with little formal classroom training. Be prepared to be thrown into cold water and learn to swim for yourself.

Hierarchial, autocratic management in some cases. Old style command and control behavior which uses power to try to intimidate by keeping people in the dark and off base. Bureaucratic and slow to move. It can be very tedious and require a lot of patience to get anything accomplished. Culturally the company can be very rigid.
