Pros

The benefits are good and salary is competitive. In my experience, the people are generally smart, professional, and great to work with. Now that Genentech has formally merged with Roche, there are opportunities for international work assignments.

Cons

The other side of merging with Roche is that the company has gotten a lot bigger and is ironing out what the new global company looks like. Lots of changes going on to react to the market, which is to be expected.

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.
