Pros
Campus is beautiful and coworkers are generally nice and easy to work with.
Cons
During my time at this company, I found that progress was consistently hindered by ineffective leadership in the IACUC group. Instead of empowering teams or encouraging collaboration, management focused almost entirely on maintaining control and micromanaging processes, even when it came at the cost of efficiency. Constructive feedback was ignored or dismissed, and decision-making was centralized to a fault, creating bottlenecks and stifling morale. The work environment suffered as a result, with the most talented individuals either leaving or becoming fully disengaged. If IACUC leadership could shift from a mindset of control to one of trust and support, this could be a great place to work. Unfortunately, until that happens, meaningful progress will remain out of reach. I would recommend avoiding working in the IACUC group at Genentech.
