Pros

company produces nobel medicine that really save lives and I'm proud to be part of the company

Cons

tons of polotics, lots of butt kissing, employees are disconnected from their managers, lots of Associated directors and managers, so many layers and lots of hypes, the CEO he's only executing Roche commands.

Pros

Flexible work time. I am able to show up anytime between 8-9am. As long as I finish 9 hrs including lunch time I am ok. People here are really nice in general. They have a break room in every floor and in every building. The facility is very clean and its a great place to work at.

Cons

All their employees are head counts. In order to become an full time employee with benefits is really hard. The only way is if someone that is considered an head count leaves. And even the it is not a guarantee. You will still need to apply for that position, give a presentation, and be reconsidered.
