Pros

Amazing potential to build skills through training, seminars, peer instruction. The team I am working with is very much about inclusion with all levels...there is no feeling of superiority and a great deal of respect. Creating my own challenges to build better support is an opportunity I enjoy. The company embraces ideas that will streamline and benefit the organization.

Cons

The company is very motivated to support individuals ability to have a 'life balance'. It might be advantageous to ask managers to understand how that balance looks across the team and assess those who might be taking advantage.

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.
