Thanks for sharing your feedback and your 20+ years at Genentech. At Genentech we view career development as a journey of multiple paths. Upward mobility is one path. Embracing opportunities to broaden skills and experience and/or getting to know more areas of the business and exploring new possibilities are alternative paths. We recognize these experiences have different meaning in shaping one’s professional life. That said, we do see opportunities to help support career growth, development and advancement and is working to address this across the organization. We recommend checking internally via gWiz to learn more.
