      Pros

      Pride in formally developed drugs.

      Cons

      This used to be a wonderful place to work. Unfortunately, when Roche consumed Genentech they slowly started destroying the companies culture and pipeline. Genentech is now bogged down in poor management and is laying off and re-organizing departments that actually create the pipeline. There is too much emphasis now in AI and machine learning with little guarantee of results. Long gone is the innovation that Genentech was known for. I used to be proud I worked at Genentech but now thinking of the company just makes me sad.
