Pros

Nice office, great staff restaurant and gym. Pays well, hybrid working and great benefits.

Cons

On a global level, RDC have completely lost their way. Slow to market with new products, complacent about whether customers will use them. UK culture - has turned into a "boys club" with one team dictating direction and everyone else's views and experience discounted. Lost a lot of good, long serving people recently. I feel sorry for the good ones who are left. Customers are bewildered as to what's happened to the company and why great products have been withdrawn. Is now so small, career opportunities are severely limited - and unless you're in the little clique, forget it.

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.
