      Successfull Drug Giant

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Roche is a very Successful company, compared to all the other pharma corporations out there in the world. the drug pipeline looks promising, espceially with all the Genentech stuff.

      Cons

      Roche is very bureaucratic and slow moving company. The Swiss culture certainly is visible and most decsions are taken centrally after months of discussions. While top management is OK, the next level of management in the headquarter is of mixed competence. The recent Genentaech announcement is a downer.

      Balance of Eurpoean Work Place and American Standards

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Multiple avenues for upward mobility. Large organization that covers multiple areas of the bio technology industry. Job shadowing is highly recommended for members looking to move to other areas of the business.

      Cons

      Large organization that has too strong of focus on personal perception: rather than professional accomplishment. Working through Adecco, their temporary staffing organization, is almost a requirement for any new member. Adecco's benefits are worse than what an inmate receives in prison.

      Roche-good working environment

      Research scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reasearch facilities are top-notch and it is not an issue to purchase new equipment or expensive reagents. A majority of the research people are extremely qualified and great to work with. Support publishing work and attending and presenting work at international conferences.

      Cons

      The salaries paid by Roche appear to be lower than other comparable companies. No stock options to offset the lower salaries. Because it is a large company the work is compartmental and it can be difficult to get a clear picture of everything that has been done. Tend to be a litle slow in embracing change and taking risk.
