      Great place to work, I hope to survive the pending Roche takeover....

      Pros

      Great company, but change coming...TBD. I am proud of where I work, and I feel fortunate to work on a great team, while other teams in my dept. are not so attractive. The work atmosphere is excellent, and the company treats people well. Some employees feel a sense of entitlement, and that can be annoying because some constantly complain. Some also have the attitude of playing the victim role when there is change. Change is constant! Learn to cope!

      Cons

      Change is unknown with the pending Roche deal. The uncertainty can be unnerving.

      Pros

      A strong emphasis on communications and collaboration. A company wide decision-making structure that intrinsically forces authority downward to the lowest possible level, providing many opportunities to exercise and test one's judgement.

      Cons

      Given the company's rapid growth over the past 3-5 years, there's a bit of overlap and occasional conflict/collision in roles and responsibilities across some departments, primarily in the business services and support functional groups. Some areas of responsibility have also, due to the sheer pace of workload, fallen through the cracks and by the wayside.
