Pros
Great pay, great benefits, and the local employees I work with are all very talented and kind and genuine and caring.
Cons
Management for my team is in Switzerland which means the managers are disconnected from the work my whole team does. I thought it might just be me but after discussing with others, I have learned that this is a team wide issue. I would advise you to look at your team structure before accepting an offer. If your management structure will not be based out of the location you are working from, odds are you will be misheard and treated like an afterthought. Further, from a leadership perspective, I have seen a dilution of what used to make Genentech so unique. There has been a progressive roll back of the fun benefits that made Genentech stand out from all the rest. I would say although Genentech is a great place filled with amazing individuals, odds are you'll be treated better working for a different company
