With the merger with Roche, Genentech is now part of a very large international organization. This creates challenges of working for an international organization.

Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Genentech include bonuses, free lunches, a relaxed atmosphere, and ho ho parties.

Cons

It is a large company so if you like working in a more of a family atmosphere that is harder to find.
