Pros

Flexible PTO and Holiday Shutdowns

Cons

I am not sure how other sites are but the Carlsbad one is cliquey, full of fake people, and overall disgusting management. This place is toxic on so many levels. People who do nothing or the bare minimum get praised while people who actually do work get targeted by managers and directors. Managers and directors get away with being sexist, racist and saying very inappropriate things. They way they treat their employess is gross and mentally draining. You can't ask a question or say anything without it being used against you later on. Don't bother going to HR either they are useless and do anything to make it a you problem for speaking out even going as far to say that you should seek the Roche mental health benefits to deal with work issues. The pay also is not that great and lower than other places though managers will make it seem like they are the ones paying you out of their pocket and that it is a ton of money.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
