Pros

Good benefits, 2 yearly closures. Good place to work 9 to 5. Used to have Genentech leadership. Acquired new companies and does innovation that way.

Cons

No clear direction in research. Miserable coworkers. Most of the time, resource issues and not very sharp middle managers. Majority of Genentech leadership and really sharp people leaving. Promotions being slow.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
