Pros

Large employer Reasonable benefits package (- although an expensive location so not so great) Some Californian influence, sleep pods, subsidised food etc.

Cons

It claims to be in an exciting period of transition - trying to become agile and creative however this is being delivered on a budget Appalling dated culture persists - all forms of discrimation overtly demonstrated by senior staff and widely tolerated/ignored (lean HR) Surrounded by very expensive places to live Recruitment and retention issues due to the above issues and recent redundancy program A number of staff promoted well beyond their level of ability also due to above Far too many badly managed internal staff moves leaving gaping holes in the structure Agile principles inexpertly and badly applied - leading to inconsistent practice. Combined with the other factors something of a chaotic shambles ...

Pros

- company provides great support for learning, development and other benefits - good support during reorganization or you are redundant - great source of information

Cons

- extremely political. - people focuses on networking to survive more than gaining content as this is more important to stay when reorganizing or changes are happening - all ideas and strategies are built by external consulting firms (BCG, Deloitte or Mckinsey) so it's more important to be able to have better comm skill (presentation) than being smart. - quietly hard working people don't get successful at Roche. Go do coffee and attend networking events. that's the way to keep your job at Roche.
