Pros

Long-term company strategy is on the mark towards personalized medicine. The company has deep pockets. The fact that the company is semi-privately held really allows Roche to focus on long-term results. Roche is in this business for the long-haul, not to appease Wall Street analyst's quarterly expectations.

Cons

The fact that they completely bungled getting Mircera to market, and now Actemra is significantly delayed. The entire biotech/pharma industry is in for a change with the new presidential administration and congress. Much uncertainty around the impending Genentech acquisition. Even though Roche is buying Genentech, it certainly feels like the new organization is going to be more like Genentech than Roche. (Wanting to preserve Genentech culture....moving commercial operations from NJ to Sout San Francisco).

Pros

Management is working hard to get outside business so that we can be self sufficient. With all that is going on in the world, I am not only thankful to have a job, but thankful to have health insurance and work for a company that is growing, not just surviving or on the downward slide.

Cons

We work 12 hours shifts and every other weekend. So the days get long and I don't like working on the weekends. Alot of things are based on senority which I think is kind of out of date.
