Pros

Moving more towards self organized organizations, more employee empowerment. Salary, and other benefits on site.

Cons

Since 2 years we are going from one transformation to another and this has resulted in layoff after layoffs after layoffs. We started in the affiliates, than we moved to HR, Finance, legal, Communications, than to R&D, than to Diagnostics, than to IT and probably we will start again then. Today we don’t say restructuring or reorganization we call it TRANSFORMATION. There has been 1000s and 1000s of job losses in all these transformations. And nobody speaks about it...........How do they keep it quiet???

Pros

Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

Cons

As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
