Pros

Campus infrastructure and canteens are great. Basic Benefits (saleries, bonus etc.) are decent

Cons

Roche has been a very successful company for many years, reaping the benefits of a strong Swiss work ethic. However, this constant success has led to a low sense of business acumen throughout the organization and a very powerful HR (P&C) department. Combined with a desire to follow every new trend from San Francisco and chase high ESG ratings, this has unfortunately led to an environment that is heavily influenced by woke and gender ideology. Performance, impact, and accountability are no longer values that are being recognized.

Pros

Flexible working with home office. Parking is available for employees. Good location in Budapest. Modern office environment. Nice loyalty benefits.

Cons

One of the IT areas have continuous re-organizations since years. I like the company, but they do not give us a rest just to peacefully could focus on our work and our work/life balance. The management with these changes - reducing headcount and costs - giving us the stress factor. And we also can not travel anymore freely on business/workshops to meet our Colleagues face to face. Earlier there were more career opportunities, I also do not see such strategical or motivating positions anymore. They keep the salaries on much lower market level than few years ago.

Pros

-Benefits are well-rounded, although have been slightly worse recently -90 minutes of breaks, 1-hr paid -Most people have a degree of integrity and respect towards one another

Cons

-Arrogant and frankly unqualified management; highly questionable work ethics and non-existent communication between shifts or between managers and employees -Layoff hundreds of employees, only to use employees left from other departments to fill in the gap, displaying lack of foresight -Constant pressure to do more with little-to-no reward -Gradual decline in the perks of the job in spite of personal performance
