Pros

It’s great to work for a company who makes a difference in patients’ lives. Good camaraderie. Good opportunities for development. Good benefits.

Cons

In my opinion, company culture seems to be changing as size grows. Not all managers make good leaders. Feels like big pharma.

Pros

Loved working with my team. Super collaborative and exciting science. Great benefits and work life balance. Love the balance between pipeline and publication.

Cons

Super slow promotion rates that are more dependent on tenure, rather than contribution. We've also had yearly rounds of layoffs for the past four years. It is truly difficult to maintain any level of trust with upper management. However, layoff benefits at Genentech seem to be generous.
