      Roche's Biggest Roadblock is Roche

      Pros

      Pay is insane, benefits are solid, and opportunities for growth are probably very good. Crazy talented people at the individual contributor level.

      Cons

      Processes are overblown and operational innovation is discouraged in favor of maintaining the cumbersome status quo. If you're not a "lifer" then you "obviously don't understand how business is done here". Complex bureaucracies dominate the management landscape, more so than other companies of similar size. Corporate leaders will hand down edicts with little consideration of the impact on people and processes that are affected, as long as senior managers are satisfied. Many middle managers are zealots who spout out vision statements without living up to those values.

      Pros

      - Great office facilities, free breakfast. - Talented and experienced coworkers. - Challenging projects, great learning opportunities. - Get to learn and observe the art of how the local managements push away responsibilities and still telling everyone they did a great job.

      Cons

      - Bureaucracy, has a lot of unnecessary procedures and red tapes. - Inexperienced local senior management in handling IT projects(commit on projects with unreasonable timeline, ridiculosly low budget, and expect to build castle in the air). - Talented peoples are leaving really fast. - Local senior management has no respect for lower ranked staffs and contractors. - Dictatorship style by local senior management. Staffs that challenge their decision were told to leave. - Blames are pushed from everwhere and nothing gets solved. In the end all goes to lower ranked internal staffs and contractors.

      Great Benefits, Toxic Culture

      Pros

      Roche is a great company with awesome benefits. They have terrific healthcare, great dental and eye care plus they really are setup well to take care of people.

      Cons

      I found the culture here to be the most toxic of all companies in my career. This organization is very political and clicky. During my time here I have started to take anxiety and blood pressure medicine because of the continued pressure to perform along with constant criticism. I would not recommend working at Roche to my worst enemy.
