Business Outlook

Pros

Professional development, environmental sustainability, and ethical development of products (therapeutics) are at the forefront of culture. Opportunities to move within the company are available for those who put in time and energy to network and apply. Great people. Super smart colleagues who are changing peoples lives through cutting edge medicine.

Cons

Some employees who have been here for a long time (20+) years have a lot of negative energy and make things political. Lots of bureaucracy at times can make it feel like you’re not productive, but that’s often the reality of a highly regulated industry (we need to make sure our products are safe! We aren’t making software like tech companies nearby, we are improving quality of life!)

Genentech Response

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and for your input! We’re committed to developing agile people, trusted leaders, and dynamic organizations so we can push boundaries and revolutionize medicine to improve the lives of patients. It’s great to hear about your growth and encourage you to continue bringing your authentic self to work. Thanks again for your review!

Promotions are next to impossible to get. Internal recruiting process is sketchy (recipient often known in advance; interviewing more like kabuki theater).
