Roche reviews

- Professional development is LACKING. They’ll tell you that there are plenty of opportunities to cross train, or that you can speak to your manager about taking on new responsibilities. Your average manager (with the exception of an amazing few) is not going to give up the resource that you are unless they are absolutely forced too. You will not get that opportunity because they can’t make it work. And you won’t get anymore responsibility because that’s how they make themselves look good. - Speaking of managers, most of them don’t care about you in the slightest. Some of them actively despise you. One of the higher ups even joked and giggled when mentioning some layoffs we had gone through about 4 months prior. Sickening behavior. - The planners for this site aren’t the best. Forgetting to put things on a schedule is one thing. Doing it literally multiple times a month and making everyone rush to figure it out is another. - While most people here just want to get through the work day and go home, some of them want to make your day as difficult as possible. They will usually ruin it for the others.

Roche has been undergoing endless, exhausting transitions with no retention strategy. In my department, management has been ignoring the clear signs that top talent is unhappy and halfway out the door. Colleagues discuss their job hunts in the office. Workload is out of control with no new headcount in sight. Personal development and side projects have been on halt for a year while we work out our "temporary" resource issues. The only way to grow is to leave.
