Pros

Has good benefits, access to gym, cafeteria and convenient onsite medical and dental office.

Cons

Inappropriate behaviors are not taken seriously. There is a lot of discrimination. Genentech has changed significantly for the worse over the years.

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.
