Roche is a great place to work that enables career growth, yet it can get too political at times when defining products.

Pros

Good people who really care about product quality and effectiveness.

Cons

Due to lack of clear portfolio strategy, a lot of waste of resources and timeline during project cycles. Politics can really get in the way as well.

Have learned a lot but it's easier to win the lottery than get promoted. Have to leave the company to move up.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary with benefits, nice campus that's not too big, and lots of amenities (Cafeteria, gym, social events, dinners to go). People are friendly and retires and ex-employess often come back to visit. Many people with 30+ yrs at company.

Cons

Since Roche brought out Genentech, the environment has become less secure and friendly. The seat of power in the US is now at Genentech in San Francisco.
