Pros

The company has a great mission and there is a high focus on employee training and development. It is a great place to work. The salaries and bonuses are excellent.

Cons

After the Roche merger a lot of inefficiencies were introduced. The cultures did not mesh well and as a result the drive and passion of the old Genentech is diminished.

Cons

Typical office politics, but less than at other companies I've worked at Career paths can be cloudly and self-service Sometimes hire out work to contractors vs. building skills in-house Have been encouraged in the past to ignore work/life balance
