Pros

Genentech gives excellent training and amazing Benefits. Getting a job here can almost guarantee you a position almost anywhere else in the industry.

Cons

There is limited room for advancement and employees are often expected to perform activities usually considered beyond the scope of their position in the industry. Expect to wait at least a year for a job opportunity when starting as a contractor.

Endless "transformations"

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Before Roche buyout years ago this was a great company. Great benefits, great salary, innovative and meaningful work. Unfortunately all that is slowly eroding with the endless transformations and cost cutting ideas that are made at the higher levels without consideration of the ramifications down the road.

Cons

Cost cutting strategies to bring in inferior employees at low rates who are incapable of the level of work necessary leading to extended timelines for many studies. High turnover disruptions due to endless transitions.
