Pros

Benefits are good but used to be better...job security used to be good but now is gone forever. You can be the hardest working employee and one day...it's taken from you for no reason at all. So be loyal to the highest bidder and change companies often. Chase the dollar and new opportunities.

Cons

If you are lucky enough to have a pension from this company you are a marked target. They will find a way to get rid of you so they don't have to pay it. When you hear "it was a business decision" you'll know they just saved themselves some money at the expense of your years of loyalty and commitment.

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.
