Pros

This is a place that values difference and embraces it. Love being surrounded by smart, motivated and genuinely nice people. The culture supports giving credit where credit is due. Love the South San Francisco location and the perks like the Genentech buses that bring people to work. But it's also great to have opportunities available to work anywhere Roche has offices. That's literally in dozens of countries.

Cons

Long hours and some of the integration issues post the merger with Roche make the work challenging sometimes. For example, we still have two email systems, two meeting calendar systems and two systems for virtual meetings. This makes interoperability between us and our colleagues in other parts of Roche difficult.
