Extremely well documented processes, project life cycle methodology, templates and guidelines. Unregimented work culture. No unnecessary stress. Very talented work force. Focused leadership.

Cons

With the merger with Roche there is a level of uncertainity if Genentech's great work culture can survive in its current form.

Pros

They responded my application very quickly and they are very nice to the new employees. The city is really good to live in.

Cons

The company is too big and they hire too many people at one time and they was bought by Roush.
