Pros

A great place to work if you are somewhat satisfied with having a constant salary and not moving up the ladder as much since this company is already very structured. It is also a great place to work since the Genentech stamp on your resume will help your career.

Cons

This place definitely is a lot better to work at if you are someone married because the issue of getting time off is very skewed toward those people.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Cons

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
