      Pros

      -Parent company continues to be solid -Global teams, while challenging, pull together to innovate -Good benefits I would recommend Genentech SSF but stay away from Hillsboro

      Cons

      HIT Leadership team is dysfunctional and site as a whole takes pride in a start-up mentality which really translates into acting like amateurs. Support functions are treated like second class citizens. Manager was totally disengaged during onboarding and off boarding was not different. HR seriously needs to wake up and provide support for this site as well as requiring leadership accountability.

      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.
