Business Outlook
Pros
- Company and employees are generally engaged and committed to patient health - Very intelligent, collaborative, and friendly employees and work environment - Company focus on novel therapeutics and unmet medical needs - Company focus on employee career development - Competitive pay and benefits
Cons
- Work/life balance can be very bad depending on group/project, with no guidelines for mitigation - Bureaucracy and red tape. Getting anything done seems to take a lot of time, people, and forms. - Pharma regulations, which only get more strict over time, drive many aspects of the day-to-day work done, and this can be suffocating - Conservative and strict management from Roche since the merger has diluted the once-fun Genentech culture
