Pros

Pay, food and the transportation

Cons

HORRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK FOR. They have no room for learning. They expect you to know everything from you first day of training. They watch you like a hawk and judge you on every question you ask. Not a comfortable learning environment. This was a entry level job and training was a month long at a intensive level. Every time I asked a question or needed help, my manger would call me saying I shouldn’t be asking questions and I should have already understood the material, although my “trainees” told us we could ask questions.

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

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

Pros

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Cons

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
