Pros

Roche is all about patients and science, and that makes a huge difference to many. Number one in sustainable development for a decade, and it's focus on people, culture, and agility has been remarkable over the past years. Roche prepared his leadership for VUCA and this helped a lot in 2020.

Cons

Roche has grown from many acquisitions and always preserved innovation. Downside is a very strong and sometimes counterproductive complexity and decentralisation. Stakeholder management is a full time job. However this is recognised and on the way for change.
