Pros

Some of the disease areas Genentech researches are completely untouched, which is rare for such a large company. Benefits are great. Perks are notorious- AT&T park concerts! Still a really great place to work even years after the Roche take over

Cons

Genentech managers expect a high level of performance. The pace is very fast in nearly all departments. This can lead to some long hours.
