Genentech reviews

The people are very, very smart, motivated, and hard-working, my group at least thinks a lot about management and how well managers are motivating and developing their people, and provide me with great role models and mentors. The work itself is fascinating, with meaningful problems. It almost always feels like a meritocracy - so good performance gets rewarded and poor performers get weeded out. It can be hard to maintain work/life balance, but you always feel that on a basic level, people support your efforts to do so, so it's more you struggling with yourself and letting yourself say 'no' and maybe give up opportunities than feeling like it will be frowned on or you won't get other opportunities later if you do.

Opportunity, compensation, and lots of new drugs coming. Art and Richard have a way of getting the most out of their people. They instill a strong confidence in the sales force to go out and help patients daily. I have worked at two other pharma companies and this one stands out on all levels. They treat you with respect and they expect you to perform.
