Genentech reviews

Meetings overkill, over-emphasis on PhD as an indicator for competency, out-of-control spending on food and events produces too much waste, middle-managers are technically superior but often lacking in soft-skills and years of true managerial experience, recognition often based on conference-room capability rather than on-the-job capability and delivery of results, Executive level and HR focused on protection of company reputation over employee protection, need to stop blaming Roche for everything gone wrong considering there are still many Genentech executives and directors holding their jobs, post merger.

- managers who favor some and treat others like crap (based on personal bias not work product) - managers who give Genenchecks (~$250) to their pets for made up reasons - managers who tell you every week that your work product doesn't matter but your popularity does - managers who have no qualifications to manage your work being assigned to you
