Pros

Was a good and stable company, and people were always happy. People were valued.

Cons

After Roche, Genentech was never the same. All about profit, people are not valued. In the past few years, I have seen many great and knowledgeable people be laid off or leave due to the company, job, no way to move up or be appreciated to go to other companies instead and help those companies be better.

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.
