Genentech reviews

Huge disconnect front the frontline employees and managment(as usual right). the plant was poorly designed. all genentech sites hate eachother so no one collaborates because everone is too arrogant (for no real reason)-( so far most the managers at genentech are in position for who they are friends with, not becuase they manage great). We have nothing but delays delays and more delays yet managers are promoted= what?but we constanlty been force fed crap like Class A, global this, governance that, 5S this, studd never ends ands gets in the way!. These lame inititives which basically come into light to- justify jobs. Remove all that fluff and lets get to work. Stop wasting time with all this nonsense. This Plant is: FAR FROM LEAN!!!! Far from Class A Excellent at delays and making poor descisions. I am in the proccess of looking outside for another job because there is way too much corporate fluff here. -Old School Genentech RIP.

1. Horrible HR system (VERY disorganized and UNinformed) 2. If you have a 'challenging' boss, employee can easily be 'forced out' due to unfair representation. 3. Work and life balance NOT present as company claims it to be. 4. Follow-up to #3 - continuously pushed with increasing workloads to accomplish more and more. 5. Flexible / reasonable hours do NOT exist. 6. South San Francisco (SSF) isn't the greatest place ('shady') to headquarter a premier company. 7. Follow-up to #6 - company location makes for a LONG, jammed commute from ANY direction. 8. SSF headquarters is expanding too much and too quickly for its own good. Takes time to get from point A to point B.
