Pros

Best benefits and fun place to work.

Cons

Genentech used to be a great company until the Roche merger. Biggest weakness is middle management. Unprofessional and political behavior is tolerated. Hard-working employees are written up by incompetent management.

Pros

working at a company that does make a difference to the patients and their families lives makes going to work worthwhile, enabling them to live longer if just by a few months make a qorld of difference.

Cons

the Roche comglomerate is making changes to the company that will be detrimentral in the long run both the company and eventually the patients. the 'brain drain' has become significant enough that the future pipeline is jepordized
