Pros

Genentech was an incredible company to work for. Even as an intern, I was treated with respect and was given the opportunity to shine.

Cons

There is, however, a steep learning curve. If you aren't proactive to keep up with the pace, it's easy to fall behind.

Pros

Genentech is an amazing place to work at. It's diverse and very welcoming. They do an amazing job engaging their employees and you can establish a work/life balance. It's also an honor to work alongside some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Leaving Genentech can spoil you in many ways and going anywhere else can be difficult if you're expecting something similar.
