      Genentech has changed with Roche merger

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Salary is commensurate with industry standards for each specialty . --Pipeline is very strong -Previous Genentech managers are great and talented and great to work for -Old Genentech was fantastic BUT Roche merger post one year has definitely shaken things and the loyalty and commitment the company had towards its employees is gone causing employee marale to drop

      Cons

      -For the first time in Genentech's history reps had to sit by the phone in November with what was called "Operation Excellence".(CUTS) (executed very poorly) -Roche persona has overshadowed the strong, excited, driven and positive culture that used to exist with Genentech -Recognition and perks have disappeared

      Good pay, pressure cooker environment

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay was good and there are a lot of good people working there that were a pleasure to work with

      Cons

      It is a pressure cooker environment. Work comes before all else and can be very difficult to get time off. Some groups work their employees into the ground and there is very little reward.
