      Great company, but stressful environment

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is great with great science, people, and benefits.

      Cons

      The diversity has changed after George Floyd, where Diversity and Inclusion head and department was created. Originally, I listen, and attended several guest speakers. They focused on White Supremacy and Privilege, and the head of D&I and HR were passionate. Eventually, I had to listen how bad white people during D&I moments, and racial jokes directed or listen to in the work place. The environment become so toxic *racism), I decided to leave, since I was not able to get my work done. BTW - I did not pursue HR route, since Roche CEO stated, if you do not like D&I effort, leave.

      Pros

      The salary and benefits are quite good.

      Cons

      My boss was a screamer who thrived on dissension. The management that are still there and HR tolerated it. In addition people that are still there were well aware of it and have been promoted, they joined in at the time, one manager throwing a chair at the wall in the office.
