Pros

Company provides good salaries, support, and a comfortable workplace. This was true when I was there until 2008. Things may be different under Roche.

Cons

Due to its size, tasks are specialized and initiative is constrained by a corporate culture requiring consensus. Meetings dominate the work day.
